  • Abstract
    In this paper, an airborne Ka-band (35 GHz) FMCW scatterometer and its preliminary results are presented. The paper describes the system, the calibration and the data processing needed to study the response of different targets to the scatterometer. The results obtained in the first flights include normalized radar cross-section measurements of inland water bodies and a tree height estimation algorithm.
