A golden age for spaceborne SAR systems [PDF]
Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is the only imaging sensor technology that can provide all-weather, day-and-night and high-resolution images on a global scale. Today, SAR data are used for a multitude of applications ranging from geoscience and climate change research, environmental monitoring, 2-D and 3-D mapping, change detection, 4-D ...

Exploration of Advanced Bistatic SAR Experiments (in English)
This study concentrates on the results of several advanced hybrid bistatic SAR experiments. The hybrid bistatic configuration applies to the case in which the transmitter and receiver are mounted on different types of platforms, e.g., spaceborne/airborne,

Analysis of Low-Oversampled Staggered SAR Data
The combination of SCan-On-REceive with continuous variation of the pulse repetition interval during transmission (staggered operation) is a viable option for the acquisition of high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data over wide areas.

Efficient Time-Domain Image Formation with Precise Topography Accommodation for General Bistatic SAR Configurations [PDF]
Due to the lack of an appropriate symmetry in the acquisition geometry, generalised bistatic SAR cannot benefit from the two main properties of low-to-moderate resolution monostatic SAR: azimuth-invariance and topography-insensitivity.

An Operational Processing Framework for Spaceborne SAR Formations
The paper proposes a flexible and efficient wavenumber domain processing scheme suited for close formations of low earth orbiting (LEO) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors hosted on micro-satellites or CubeSats. Such systems aim to generate a high-resolution image by combining data acquired by each sensor with a low pulse repetition frequency (PRF).
