Wade presented his overview of the current standard.
Ron was concerned about proprietary and regulatory issues.
Wade said he thought that it was designed to not go into so much
detail that those would be a problem.
For scansar would need to add relationships between burts.
Can deal with multiple receive apertures as long as only one complex
image is the result.

by the current standard:
native doppler (as in ALOS, uavsar)
full bistatic
sentinel-1 (current std can only handle 1 burst not multiple)
