I have written an image formation algorithm for Sentinel-1 Level-0 IW data. To properly form the image, one *must* perform the frequency unwrapping on the azimuth data. I have found I am able to perform an azimuth compression on this data without needing to get to the documented algorithmic step of doing the second unwrap.

How and why, exactly, does Sentinel-1 have this frequency wrapping of azimuth data? What benefit is there to the documented additional processing steps that lead to the documented second unwrapping?
