In ground engineering the need for deformation measurements is urgent. SAR interferometry can be used to measure small (sub-wavelength) deformations. An experiment to investigate this for dike deformations was set up, using the C-band SAR system PHARUS (PHased ARray Universal SAR). This paper describes the progress made in the research.

Empirical results from a field experiment in the southern North Sea have demonstrated the possibility to detect bathymetry-induced sea surface roughness modulation in the coastal zone using high frequency in-situ slope measurements provided by the Towed Laser Slopemeter. A strong correlation between enhanced/reduced slope power for ocean...

Airborne radar along-track interferometric measurements of a coastal area with a complex tidal flow pattern are analyzed. The results are compared with a current field computed from a tidal model. Using wave-current interaction modeling, a radar backscatter image is simulated based on the measured current field, and compared to the measured...

The Dutch PHARUS system is a polarimetric active phased array SAR capable of performing advanced SAR modes. Advanced SAR modes that are being investigated are: spotlight SAR, sliding spotlight SAR, stepped frequency SAR and interferometric SAR. The flight experiments and automatic beam steering implementations are carried out in co-operation...

Describes the theoretical background of dynamic range limiting, an analog raw SAR data reduction technique. A Dynamic Range Limiter (DRL) breadboard model is presented, which has been used to prove the concept of this technique. The first results of the DRL experiment with the PHARUS airborne SAR system have shown that the DRL performs its...

Repeat-pass Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery is useful for change detection. A disadvantage of SAR is the system-inherent speckle noise. This can be reduced by filtering. Various filter types and methods are described in the literature, but not one fits the speckle noise in change detection imagery. A new method is therefore developed in...

We present a schematic design methodology for multirate convolution systems, based on combined algorithmic development and architecture design. It allows us to map the algebraic specification of a long convolution algorithm directly onto efficient fast convolution hardware based on short FFT processor elements or dedicated VLSI processors. The...

The potential of satelliteborne interferometric measurements for the mapping of slow land subsidence has been investigated. Two test sites, covered by the E,RS-1 satellite, were selected in the Netherlands: the provinces of Groningen and Zeeland. In situ measurements on the weather and the actual subsidence were gathered. It will be shown that...

PHARUS is an airborne fully polarimetric C band SAR. It uses a compact phased array antenna with electronic beam steering. Its design provides for a flexible and robust system concept, suited for operational use on small aircraft. PHARUS was developed in The Netherlands to cater for both the military and civil markets. Its development was...

Usually, long convolutions are computed by programmable DSP boards using long FFTs. Typical operational requirements such as minimum power dissipation, minimum volume and high dynamic range/accuracy, make this solution often inefficient and even unacceptable. In this paper we present a single chip floating point solution for large convolution...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is today a valuable source of remote sensing information. SAR is a side-looking imaging radar and operates from airborne and spacebome platforms. Coverage, resolution and image quality are strongly influenced by the platform. SAR processing can be performed on standard computers or dedicated hardware architectures,...

We compared polarimetric C- and L-band and ground truth data from bare soil, young wheat and mature maize fields of the agricultural test site Flevoland in the Netherlands collected during the SIR-C campaign in April and October 1994. We find that the L-band is more sensitive to the soil roughness than the C-band. In particular L-band HH gives...

The PHARUS project (PHARUS stands for Phased Array Universal SAR) aims for a polarimetric C-band aircraft SAR that will be finalized in 1994. The system will make use of a phased array antenna with solid state amplifiers. The project consists of two phases, a definition phase and a realization phase. The definition phase was intended to increase...
