Airborne Circularly Polarized Synthetic Aperture Radar

In this article, airborne broadband (maximum 400 MHz bandwidth) C-band circularly polarized synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is proposed and developed for further study on compact (CP SAR) system using circular polarization. This article explains the scattering characteristic of polarization as concept SAR, configuration, RF antenna, ground test, flight test SAR in Hinotori-C2 (Firebird-C2) mission onboard CN235MPA aircraft 14 15 March 2018 at South Celebes, Indonesia. The result depicts multipath full polarimetric images that show good performance matched well to a multipolarized single pulse. clarification trihedral, cylindrical, omni corner reflectors (TCR, CCR, OCR), assessment image analysis, classification conventional axial ratio (AR), ellipticity (ε), (ρ) are discussed. will enrich existing CP systems could be employed calibration technique, also applications development environment disaster monitoring SAR.
