Abstract: The progress in the research of the statistical distribution of wave crest characteristics and the mechanism of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wave image were reviewed in this paper, and the information of crest length were obtained by applying the linear accumulative method to the simulation of random wave crest. The comparison of crest length distribution shows there is a goodness of fit between numerical simulation and the observation of SAR. It validates the technique of numerical simulation and deduces a probability equation of crest above certain length.

Key words: numerical simulation, wave crestlength distribution, synthetic aperture radar, numerical simulation, wave crestlength distribution
