Specificities of Near Nadir Ka-band Interferometric SAR Image- ry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The principal instrument of the SWOT mission is KaRIn, a Ka-band interferometric SAR system operating on two near nadir swaths on opposite sides of the satellite track. This article describes the specificities of images from such a SAR system as compared to images acquired by conventional spaceborne SAR systems. Both radiometric and geometric aspects are covered.

Performance Analysis of Ocean Surface Topography Altimetry by Ku-Band Near-Nadir Interferometric SAR
Interferometric imaging radar altimeter (InIRA) is the first spaceborne Ku-band interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) which is specially designed for ocean surface topography altimetry. It is on the Tiangong II space laboratory, which was launched on 15 September 2016. Different from any other spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), InIRA chooses a near-nadir incidence of 1◦~8◦ in...
متن کاملA High-Resolution, Four-Band SAR Testbed with Real-Time Image Formation
This paper describes the Twin-Otter SAR Testbed developed at Sandia National Laboratories. This SAR is a flexible, adaptable testbed capable of operation on four frequency bands: Ka, Ku, X, and VHF/UHF bands. The SAR features real-time image formation at fine resolution in spotlight and stripmap modes. High-quality images are formed in real time using the overlapped subaperture (OSA) image-form...
متن کاملA Statistical Survey of Ionospheric Effects on L-band Sar Data
Recent theoretical analyses of ionospheric distortions in low-frequency SAR signals have indicated many effects that are likely to affect the quality of SAR, interferometric SAR (InSAR), and polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) data (see [1-5]). Faraday rotation, relative range shifts, internal deformations of the image amplitude, range and azimuth blurring, and interferometric phase errors are some of th...

متن کاملThe Use of C- and L-Band Repeat-Pass Interferometric SAR Coherence for Soil Moisture Change Detection in Vegetated Areas
Soil moisture estimation studies using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) routinely utilise only the amplitude part of the received echo. In this study, repeat-pass Cand L-band interferometric SAR coherence from 2007 2009 was evaluated for the detection of surface soil moisture changes in the presence of vegetation using two different approaches. In the first analysis, the association between low c...
