Abstract :
In this paper, the spaceborne SAR system is designed with the key performance parameters for the given mission and system requirements characterized by the small satellite system. Based on the various SAR imaging modes and the SAR system requirement model, the X-band SAR payload and ground reception/processing subsystems are designed and the major results are presented with the key performance characteristics
