A High Performance Ku-band Two Channel Downconverter for Interferometric Radar Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the initial stages for the design, construction and testing of a two-channel, twostage downconverter from Ku-band to IF, where the emphasis on relative phase accuracy and inter-channel cross-talk requirements are critical design elements in the application of the downconverter for interferometric radar applications.

متن کاملSAR Remote Sensing of Snow Parameters in Norwegian Areas — Current Status and Future Perspective
The paper presents results from a series of European and national projects on remote sensing of snow parameters. Currently, satellite borne syntethic aperture radar (SAR) data are only available at C-band frequencies. Other frequencies such as L-band or Ku-band may be favorable in several snow applications, but current C-band SAR may still be used and further developed to a more mature level. I...
