Airborne/Spaceborne Radar: Panel Report
1990Mobile radar platforms can provide unique observations of geophysical phenomena for scientific research and for operational applications such as reconnaissance and flight safety. The advantages of an airborne or spaceborne radar are obvious; the radars provide 1) observations where it is often impractical or too costly to place a ground-based radar (e.

Measurement simulations from spaceborne weather radar
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Part B: Hydrology, Oceans and Atmosphere, 2000The need to oversee the meteorological phenomena evolution in those areas of the Earth which are not covered by ground-based meteorological radar is now possible with spaceborne weather radar. The Spaceborne Weather Radar Simulator (SWRS) is a software program developed to simulate the reflected power from ground, sea and meteorological targets. It has

The spaceborne subsurface sounding radar technology
IET International Radar Conference 2015, 2015Nowadays, The USA, Europe and Japan have established a series of plans of deep space exploration [1]. Our country also has lunar exploration program and Mars exploration planning. With growing fierce competition for outer space, strategic resource exploitation is getting more attention. The space-borne subsurface sounding radar is a natural payload for

A spaceborne ground penetrating radar: MIMOSA
IEEE 1999 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. IGARSS'99 (Cat. No.99CH36293), 2003The MIMOSA radar is a spaceborne unfocused nadir looking synthetic aperture P-Band radar designed to penetrate the Earth superficial layers and proposed in the frame of the Earth Explorer Opportunity Missions (ESA). This paper reviews all the mission aspects. The scientific objectives are presented: 3D mapping of Antarctic ice sheet, biomass monitoring,

Spaceborne Imaging Radar: Monitoring of Ocean Waves
Science, 1980A well-organized, very low energy ocean swell system off the East Coast of the United States was tracked with the Seasat synthetic aperture radar from deep water, across the continental shelf, and into shallow water. The results indicate that spaceborne imaging radar may be used to accurately measure ocean wavelength and direction, even in coastal ...

Airborne and spaceborne cloud radar designs
Proceedings of IGARSS '94 - 1994 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2005Presents some crucial design parameters and a strawman system design for a nadir-looking, 94-GHz spaceborne cloud profiling radar. This sensor is expected to provide cloud measurements at vertical resolution of 500 m and with a minimum detectable cloud reflectivity of slightly better than -30 dBZ.

Spaceborne Imaging Radar: Geologic and Oceanographic Applications
Science, 1980Synoptic, large-area radar images of the earth's land and ocean surface, obtained from the Seasat orbiting spacecraft, show the potential for geologic mapping and for monitoring of ocean surface patterns. Structural and topographic features such as lineaments, anticlines, folds and domes, drainage patterns, stratification, and roughness units can be ...

Bistatic radar using a spaceborne illuminator
IET International Conference on Radar Systems 2007, 2007A bistatic radar has a physically separated transmitter and receiver. This paper investigates a bistatic radar system which uses a spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) transmitter on board the European Space Agency's Envisat satellite and a stationary, ground based receiver. The advantages of this variant of the bistatic configuration includes the

Simulation of a spaceborne radar altimeter
Proceedings IEEE Southeastcon '98 'Engineering for a New Era', 2002This paper describes a computer simulation developed for spaceborne radar altimeter applications. The simulation uses a behavioral model for an orbiting altimeter. The model developed is based on the GEOSAT Follow-On Radar Altimeter, but is general in nature and can be used as an analysis or design tool for altimeter design development, or testing.
