KaRIn - the Ka-band radar interferometer on SWOT: Measurement principle, processing and data specificities
2010
2010 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium
SPECIFICITIES OF KARIN DATA
Ka-band SAR imaging and interferometry The smaller wavelength of Ka-band SAR (about 8 mm) compared to X-and C-band implies that: • less surfaces appear smooth, implying less ...
bistatic interferometry: as an illustration, a 10 m mast yields sufficient antenna separation for KaRIn, whereas a 60 m mast was needed for the SRTM mission (C-and X-band). ...
