The error component of bin reflection energy measuring due to side lobes in synthetic aperture radar is estimated in the paper. The mean expectation of this error was estimated. The mean expectation value of land surface bin reflectivity during aperture synthesizing was calculated using the standard land cover classification for Ukraine territory. The accuracy of reflectance measuring within local non-homogeneities area was evaluated statistically.
