Abstract :
In this paper, the geometrical setup of an airborne/spaceborne SAR experiment is described. This experiment is planned in cooperation of ZESS (University of Siegen) and FGAN (Forschungsgemeinschaft fur angewandte Naturwissenschaften) [1]. While TerraSAR-X will be used as SAR illuminator, the reflected pulses will be received by FGAN´s X-band system PAMIR. Due to the high difference between the velocities of the platforms, both systems must perform antenna steering to achieve an appropriate scene length in azimuth.
