The EW SLC products contain one image per sub-swath, per polarisation channel, for a total of five or ten images. Each TOPSAR EW burst in a sub-swath is processed as a separate SLC image, and included in a sub-swath image exactly as in the IW case. Like the IW mode, EW is a one natural azimuth look mode, and therefore the EW and IW images have similar properties. As for the IW SLC products, the images for all bursts in all sub-swaths of an EW SLC product are re-sampled to a common pixel spacing grid in range and azimuth.
