Abstract
With the launch and operation of Europe´s first remote sensing satellite ERS-1 in the 90´s, the usefulness and need of spaceborne SAR Systems has become obvious. Meanwhile, affordable `state of the art´ technology in modern active phase array antennas has drastically improved the SAR system agility and its image performance, such that also commercial and military application is of highest interest.
