Polarimetric calibration for RADARSAT-2
IGARSS 2000. IEEE 2000 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Taking the Pulse of the Planet: The Role of Remote Sensing in Managing the Environment. Proceedings (Cat. No.00CH37120), 2002The RADARSAT-2 SAR currently under development will be required to operate in many modes, including a fully polarimetric mode with at least 30 beams. An efficient means for achieving and maintaining polarimetric calibration of these beams is needed, and the paper describes the work that has been performed to define and validate a method based on ...

Image quality and calibration of RADARSAT-2
2009 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2009RADARSAT-2 has 177 operational imaging modes. Versions of each of these modes are available either for left-or right-looking imaging, and most modes allow images to be generated for any of the four linear polarization combinations (HH, VV, HV, VH). To support these modes there are currently 1816 sets of beam coefficients and 16 digitized pulse forms ...

RADARSAT-2, scheduled for launch in 2003, will be the next Canadian commercial Earth Observation SAR satellite. The past few years have seen a dramatically different evolution of the RADARSAT-2 program from the original proposal in both the baseline design and primary sub-contractors.

Potential of RADARSAT-2 for sea ice classification
IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003Polarimetric data acquired by the CCRS CV-580 airborne SAR are used to assess the capability of RADARSAT-2 for operational sea ice classification. The information content of the polarimetric data is illustrated by showing how specific scattering mechanisms are portrayed by the entropy, anisotropy and /spl alpha/-angle features.

Test evolution: RADARSAT-1 to RADARSAT-2
Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2005. IGARSS '05., 2005Test methodology for large spacecraft like RADARSAT-1 and RADARSAT-2 has been modified over the last decade resulting in changes to test environments. These changes in the required test environment have necessitated improvements in the test configuration modelling, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems.

Stereo Radargrammetry With Radarsat-2 in the Canadian Arctic
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2013A digital elevation model (DEM) is generated using a Radarsat-2 (R-2) high-resolution stereo pair acquired over challenging icefields and fjords site in the Canadian Arctic (80 $\%$ of ice-covered areas and almost 50 $\%$ of $>40^{\circ}$ slopes).

RADARSAT-2 initial system operations and performance
2009 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2009Following launch on SOYUZ in December, 2007, the RADARSAT-2 Satellite went through intensive Launch and Early Orbit Phase (LEOP) appendage deployment and attitude configuration activities. The first SAR data, including a remarkable Quad Pole image of Greenland, was acquired on-board on Day 4 of the mission as part of an extensive system commissioning ...
