Abstract :
The EcoSAR instrument is a new concept in Synthetic Aperture Radar for the polarimetric and interferometric measurements of biomass and ecosystem structure. EcoSAR will employ a digital beamforming architecture, a highly capable digital wave form generator and receiver system, and advanced dual-polarization array antennas with an interferometric baseline of 25 m on the NASA P3 aircraft.
