Digital Beamforming Synthetic Aperture Radar (DBSAR) Polarimetric Upgrade
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Digital Beamforming Synthetic Aperture Radar (DBSAR) is a state-of-the-art radar system developed at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center for the development and implementation of digital beamforming radar techniques. DBSAR was recently upgraded to polarimetric operation in order to enhance its capability as a science instrument. Two polarimetric approaches were carried out which will be demonstrated in upcoming flight campaigns.

متن کاملDigital Beamforming for High Resolution Wide Swath SAR Imaging
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a wellproved instrument for remote sensing. Multi-aperture SARsystems allow for digital beamforming on receive that will enable a wide swath SAR with high azimuth resolution. In classic multi-aperture systems, stringent requirements are imposed on sensor velocity and PRF to ensure uniform sampling of the synthetic aperture. This paper shows that an unambiguous ...
متن کاملBistatic Radar Imaging of the Marine Environment - Part II: Simulation and Results Analysis
We present a bistatic, polarimetric and real aperture Marine Radar Simulator (MaRS) producing pseudo-raw radar signal. The simulation takes the main elements of the environment into account (sea temperature, salinity, wind speed). Realistic sea surfaces are generated using a two-scales model on a semi-deterministic basis, so as to be able to incorporate the presence of ship wakes. Then, the rad...
