Spotlight SAR interferometry is an attractive option for high resolution mapping and monitoring. In this paper, the signal spectral characteristics and the interfeometric properties of spaceborne spotlight SAR are analyzed completely, and the effect of the azimuthvariant Doppler to spotlight SAR interferometry is studied. Moreover, a new coregistration algorithm, which contains coarse coregistr...

Based upon the sparse array composed of cluster SAR satellites, this paper analyzes the space-time and space-frequency characteristic of the received signal in detail, and proposes an algorithm for the moving targets detection and imaging based on array signal processing and Wigner-Ville Distribution (WVD). The results of theoretical analysis and simulation show that the cluster SAR system can ...

We compared SAR distributions in major anatomical structures of the brain of a homogeneous and a heterogeneous model using FDTD calculations. Our results proved a good correlation between SAR values in lobes of the brain where tumors may arise more frequently. However SAR values at some specific locations were shown to be under or overestimated. key words: brain, epidemiological study, health e...

Abstract — This paper describes the implementation of a 8-bit 50 MS/s SAR ADC using 180nm TSMC CMOS VLSI Process in Mentor Graphics. Here main building blocks of SAR ADC lik e comparator, sample and hold, SAR Register and DAC are implemented. The supply voltage for this SAR ADC is ±1.8 V. The simulation result shows speed of 50 MHz achieved with input frequency of 1 MHz and power dissipation of...

Image Classification is the evolution of separating or grouping an image into different parts. The good act of recognition algorithms based on the quality of classified image. The good feat of recognition algorithms based on the quality of classified image. An important problem in SAR image application is accurate classification. Image segmentation is the mainly practical loom among virtually a...

For merging Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with georeferenced data, one usually uses processing software to orthorectify the SAR images in order to add them in a GIS. Nevertheless, this projection involves an important alteration of the information of SAR images and are often specific to some particular SAR sources. Moreover, the transformation of radarcoding data from a GIS into the radar geom...

INTRODUCTION A multi-antenna transmitter, e.g. in Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) systems, will be implemented in the user equipment (UE) of mobile communication systems in the near future [1]. Applying the standardized procedures [2][3] for obtaining the maximum average Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is an evaluation index for RF exposure to human, requires the measurement of the three-...

The work reported in this paper was carried out under an ESA contract (15600/01/I-LG) with the purpose of demonstrating the potential of polarimetric SAR compared with single-polarization data for some key application areas to support the decisions on future satellite SAR systems. Three key application areas were identified (a) SAR polarimetry for agriculture classification, (b) SAR polarimetry...

The relation between the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) and pHc derived here predicts SAR of the drainage water (SARdw) better than existing empirical equations. Inaccuracies in SAR estimates from the new relationship can be anticipated by the extent to which the derived conditions are valid. Empirical equations provide no understanding of why they are sometimes inaccurate. Due to the relative i...

Long-wavelength SAR backscattering from glacier ice is of high relevance for glaciological applications since it contains information about both surface and subsurface structure of the ice. For this reason, SAR sensors can be used to discriminate and delineate the different glacier facies and to extract information on the ice density, which today can only be estimated on point basis. In this pa...
