Thanks a lot for replying to my query...

Just simple level reflectivity map calculation of the object is only im looking
for.. Manually creating a program for Electromagnetic imaging like say Ray
tracing Algorithm , Physical optics method etc is very tedious task...

Thats why I'm planning to use POV ray for reflectivity map calculation of the
scene or object. From that generated reflectivity map, I was hoping to use it
for SAR raw echo simulation....

Is my approach feasible one ? Thank you.
