Steeghs, T.P.H. (author), van Halsema, D. (author), Hoogeboom, P. (author), TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author)TNO-FEL is developing a miniature, lightweight, low cost, and scalable SAR/MTI system called 'MiniSAR'. The MiniSAR system will be unique in its size and architecture. Initially the demonstrator system will be integrated in a two-seater motorglider platform. Wherever possible, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products are being used. This paper...conference paper 2001

de Wit, J.J.M. (author), Hoogeboom, P. (author), Otten, M.P.G. (author)There is an increasing interest in low-cost, high-resolution imaging radar systems to be operated from small and maybe even unmanned platforms. Existing imaging systems are generally too heavy for small platforms, or too expensive in day-to-day use to be applied in small-scale civil applications. Combining the compactness of FM-CW radar systems...conference paper 2001

de Wit, J.J.M. (author), Hoogeboom, P. (author)For small-scale earth observation applications, there ia a special interest in low-cost, high-resolution imaging radars small, enough to be operated from small, possibly unmanned aircraft. The combination of FM-CW technology and the high resolution of SAR systems should result in such a small, cost-effective imaging radar. In a new project the...conference paper 2001

Melief, H.W. (author), Greidanus, H.S.F. (author), van Genderen, P. (author), Hoogeboom, P. (author), TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author)In this project we study radar scattering from the sea surface in a number of ways. We generate 3D realisations of the sea surface and models of breaking waves. These objecs are put in CAD format. A ray tracing algorithm is used to calculate the illumination of the object and the local incidence angle of the radiation. Based on these results a...conference paper 2000

Otten, M.P.G. (author), Hoogeboom, P. (author), TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author)PHARUS is a Dutch phased anray SAR system with an active (Polarimetric) antenna. The antenna consists of 2 rows of 24 transmit/receive modules; the amplitude and phase of each of these can be fully controlled from pulse-to-pulse. This allows very flexible beam steering capabilities. Some experiments were carried out using the electronic beam...conference paper 1998
