I'm doing a high school paper on the effects of frequency alterations on a radar image. Can someone recommend a book which I can use?

Probably just the usual online resources should help you out. What do you mean by "frequency alterations on a radar image"? Do you mean spatial resolution of the radar image versus the wavelength used? What do you think are the main effects?

Yeah, i mean how are the images displayed affected by the use of different frequencys. Some provide better quality and some lower. Other show more objects and so on. So no book deals with this that you know of?
 
Probably any book on radar will address that. But you can also just read about it online. Have you read the wikipedia article about radar yet, and followed some of the links out of that basic article? The wikipedia article is pretty good, IMO. :smile:
