Abstract :
Spaceborne microwave remote sensing instruments, like the imaging radiometer and the synthetic aperture radar, are over timed faced with two partly conflicting requirements: performance expectations (resolutions, sensitivity, coverage) steadily increase with resource allocations (weight, power, bulk, cost) decrease. This results in needs and requirements to the development of advanced technology thus enabling the future advanced systems to be viable and realistic.
