One of the main challenges in GeoSAR processing is accurately determining the satellite orbit. To tackle this challenge, a multiple baseline ground-based interferometer is proposed. As a proof of concept, this paper presents the results obtained from a single baseline prototype, whose results can be extrapolated to a larger system.
This paper proposes two different calibration techniques for Geostationary Synthetic Aperture Radar (GEOSAR) missions requiring a high precision positioning, based on Active Radar Calibrators and Ground Based Interferometry. The research is enclosed in the preparation studies of a future GEOSAR mission providing continuous monitoring at continental scale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
