Abstract Spaceborne SAR, which is a kind of initiatively microwave imaging sensor, plays an important role in gathering information with its capability of all-day and all-weather imaging, and has become an indispensable sensor for observing the earth. With the development of SAR techniques, Spaceborne SAR has been provided with the ability of High-Resolution Wide-Swath, miniaturization with low cost, bistatic and multi-mode imaging, and Ground Moving Target Indicating (GMTI), so more accurate information about the culture could be obtained with lower cost. In the meantime, more technique problems with muliti-mode, new work system and complex environment are arising and needed to be solved. The main work of this paper is discussing the current situation and the future development of Spaceborne SAR.
