Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

A new airborne multi-frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) was developed by the Communications Research Laboratory (CRL) and National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA). This system observes the Earth's surface by multi-frequency (L- and X-band), all polarization and high resolution radar. Furthermore the system has a topographic mapping function for X-band by a crosstrack interferometric SAR. In this report the authors describe their SAR system and preliminary results of the test flights.
