Second-generation spaceborne precipitation radar
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 Global Precipitation Mission is currently being planned as a follow-on to the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission. One of the key components of the GPM science instrumentation is an advanced, dual-frequency rain mapping radar. In this paper, the authors present a potential system concept for this second-generation spaceborne precipitation radar ...

Research in the Spaceborne Meteorological Radar Equation
2008 China-Japan Joint Microwave Conference, 2008This paper starts from the general radar meteorological equation and derives a new form which is suitable for spaceborne usage. Preliminary research has been done in the four main factors of the equation, which are phased array antenna gain, the scattering of deformed raindrop, the atmosphere attenuation and low sidelobe level of antenna.

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 ...

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 ...

Unsupervised segmentation of spaceborne passive radar images
Pattern Recognition Letters, 1999Abstract Remote sensing over a wide area, such as a rainforest or arctic region, is often done by segmenting multispectral images from a spaceborne passive radar. In such applications, the number and types of segmented regions are often unknown, and boundaries between segmented regions are often fuzzy.

Spaceborne radar design equations and concepts
1997 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 1997Spaceborne radar systems (SBR) can be designed for several modes of operation including airborne moving target indication (AMTI), ground moving target indication (GMTI), and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mapping. Each application imposes a different design constraint, in addition to the nominal power-aperture requirements.
