Towards a polarimetric C-band aircraft SAR in the Netherlands
article
In The Netherlands a digltal SLAR system (X-band)is used since many years in the radar remote sensing research. This system supports research Programs in which also other equipment is used, for instance a multiband airborne scatterometer. Based on our experience in radar remote sensing a polarimetric C-band aircraft SAR is designed, to be realised ín the 1990's. The system is of a novel design, using a phased array antenna with solid state anplifiers. The dataprocessing for this system requires the development of software tools, that take geometric and radiometric corrections into account, as well as the calibration.
