چکیده
The ever-increasing demand for accuracy of weather forecasting and understanding of weather phenomena requires new weather observation methods. Earth observation in the microwave regions can provide important data on moisture and temperature distributions in the atmosphere, even within cloud formations where such observations are not achievable in the visible or infrared spectrum due to occlusion.

The Object Detection Efficiency in Synthetic Aperture Radar Systems
The main purpose of this paper is to develop the method of characteristic functions for calculating the detection characteristics in the case of the object surrounded by rough surfaces. This method is to be implemented in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems using optimal resolution algorithms. By applying the specified technique, the expressions have been obtained for the false alarm and cor...
متن کاملApplication of Displacement Map Produced by Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Technique in Height Datum Determination in the Subsidence Area
Damages due to subsidence such as destruction of watering system and agricultural fertile soil, wells increasing, damage to the roads, bridges and high ways and disordering in the water and gas supplying usually are irreparable and costly. As a huge amount bench marks of height network of Iran are placed in the subsidence area, changing their heights is a challenge for NCC. In this study, a new...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of Digital Correlator for CAS Synthetic Aperture Radiometer
We present a new method of digital correlation, which uses the technology of direct intermediate frequency or radio frequency sampling and digital phase shift. Digital correlators down-sample IF or RF signals with 3-bit analog-to-digital converters and then delay one sampling interval for quadrature phase shift. Following the same procedure as analog correlation, the digitalized I/Q pairs are p...
متن کاملResearch Activity on Synthetic Aperture Radiometry in CSSAR/CAS
Interferometric synthetic aperture radiometry is a relative new technique in the area of microwave earth observation to measure the brightness temperature distribution of the earth. It can enhance the spatial resolution of the passive microwave remote sensing effectively. Steady progress of this technology have been achieved in both one dimensional and two dimensional cases since 1990’s. The ty...
