    Note:
    Extended High Incidence beam mode operates outside of the optimum scan angle range of the SAR antenna.
    Some minor degradation in quality can be expectged as compared to images produced using Standard beam mode.
    If data is stored on the tape recorder, its image size is expected to be 70 km.
