Abstract

EMISAR is a C- and L-band fully polarimetric (i.e. 4 complex channel per frequency) synthetic aperture radar designed for remote sensing with high demands for resolution (2 m), polarization discrimination, and absolute radiometric and polarimetric calibration. The present installation has one 3-axes stabilized antenna (C- or L-band) and two flush mounted C-band antennas providing the system with cross track and repeat track interferometric capabilities
