Shared here are SAR data acquired acquired on my suite of home-made radar imaging sensors during 2006-2007 while studying applied electromagnetics at Michigan State University as a graduate student.  Thank you Mark Richards from Georgia Tech for the idea and to help with presenting it in a way so that it is easy for the student to use.
