Inhalt:
We present in this paper an autofocus algorithm for the recovery of ionospheric phase signatures in data from the Biomass mission. The algorithm is currently being integrated in the end-to-end simulation chain of Biomass and will be part of its ground prototype processor. The paper discusses both the pertinence and accuracy of the simulation of the ionospheric perturbations and the autofocus itself.
