Inhalt:
In this paper the bistatic SAR observation from low-eccentric nearly zero inclined geosynchronous orbits (GEOSAR) is studied. Two operation frequencies have been analysed with different compromises between spatial resolution and acquisition time. The impact of the orbital design in the final SAR radiometric and spatial resolution performance is assessed allowing assessment of appropriate spatial resolution and coverage compromises.
