Abstract
The algorithm for computer simulation of the sequence of noise pulses scattered by the object having a complex shape is obtained in the approximation of the model of local reflection sources. The results of synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) computer simulation while using the noise signal and the arc-shaped trajectory of the oscillator phase center are provided. There are discussed the problems of obtaining of an imaging radar and the influences exerted upon it by random deviations of the phase center from the preset trajectory as well as the testing of the obtained algorithm.

KEY WORDS: computer simulation, algorithm, noise pulse, phase center, radar image
