Abstract :
This paper describes the design and simulation of the transmitter and receiver module, a part of the advanced prototype X band, linear frequency modulated (LFM), synthetic radar aperture (SAR) being developed at INTA´s Radar Laboratory (RBX). The system includes onboard calibration, which allows measurement of the effects of the sensor´s components.
