TerraSAR System Calibration
The ESA Earth Observation TerraSAR-L system features a L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar and strives for very high radiometric performance for spatial resolutions of 5 meters and swaths up to 200 km, in strip-map and ScanSAR operations, full-polarimetric capabilities, repeat-pass ScanSAR interferometry and a Wave Mode. Such levels of radiometric performance require the use of instrument calibrati...
متن کاملResults from Terrasar-x Geometric and Radiometric Calibration
As TerraSAR-X, due for launch in June 2007, will be an operational scientific mission with commercial potential, product quality is of crucial importance. The success or failure of the mission essentially depends on the calibration of the TerraSAR-X system ensuring the product quality and the correct in-orbit operation of the entire SAR system. This paper describes the calibration procedures fo...
متن کاملThe External Calibration of TerraSAR-X, a Multiple Mode SAR- System
TerraSAR-X is a versatile X-Band SAR satellite operating in Stripmap, Spotlight and ScanSAR modes with selectable or dual polarisation. Additionally, experimental modes are possible, like wide bandwidth operation providing even higher resolution, or a left-looking mode. Consequently, cost and time effective concepts for external calibration are mandatory because of the large number of modes and...
متن کاملThe TerraSAR-X Mission
The German national SAR-satellite system TerraSAR-X is based on a public-private-partnership agreement between the German Aerospace center DLR and EADS Astrium GmbH. It is the continuation of the scientifically and technologically successful radar missions X-SAR (1994) and SRTM (2000) and is designed for scientific and commercial applications. The TerraSAR-X features an advanced high-resolution...
متن کاملMulti-Instrument Inter-Calibration (MIIC) System
In order to have confidence in the long-term records of atmospheric and surface properties derived from satellite measurements it is important to know the stability and accuracy of the actual radiance or reflectance measurements. Climate quality measurements require accurate calibration of space-borne instruments. Inter-calibration is the process that ties the calibration of a target instrument...
