Abstract :
The paper describes an X-band receiver constructed from Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) elements that was used to capture a radar signal transmitted by the TerraSAR-X satellite. The motivation was to use recorded waveforms to perform ground-based imaging of the surrounding area. The paper describes the motivation, receiver setup and the results of the measurement campaign.
