RADARSAT-2 SAR antenna

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2004
The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) payload is made up of two major components, the sensor electronics (SE) subsystem and the SAR antenna. This technical note focuses on the RADARSAT-2 SAR antenna radio frequency (RF) and mechanical design and presents an overview of the antenna RF performance requirements and design trade-offs that led to the baseline ...

Floods From Space: How Remote Sensing, AI, and Cloud Platforms Are Reshaping Disaster Risk Reduction

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Flooding remains one of the most damaging climate‐related hazards globally, yet flood remote sensing has historically developed largely along sensor‐specific pathways. This review addresses the need for a systematic and decision‐oriented synthesis of how space‐borne remote sensing has evolved toward integrated flood monitoring and disaster ...

Addressing Biases in Ice Jam Observations by Integrating Multi‐Source Data in a Forested Fluvial Landscape, Southern Quebec

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 6, Page 1188-1208, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Exhaustive long‐term and large‐scale ice jam records are scarce in most cold river environments. Many discrete events occur in small, sparsely populated river systems and are poorly represented in open‐source databases. These observation biases are transferred to predictive models of ice jams and the collective understanding of their formation

Retrieving Surface Soil Moisture over Wheat and Soybean Fields during Growing Season Using Modified Water Cloud Model from Radarsat-2 SAR Data

Remote Sensing, 2019
Surface soil moisture (SSM) retrieval over agricultural fields using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is often obstructed by the vegetation effects on the backscattering during the growing season.
