Abstract :
The second generation Digital Beamforming SAR (DBSAR-2) is a state-of-the-art airborne L-band radar being developed at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). The instrument employs a 16-channel radar architecture characterized by multi-mode operation, software defined waveform generation, digital beamforming, and configurable radar parameters. The instrument has been design to support several disciplines in Earth and Planetary sciences. This technology seeks to establish the Next Generation SAR as a science instrument while setting a path future airborne and spaceborne SAR missions.
