Abstract:
The Digital Beamforming Synthetic Aperture radar (DBSAR), a state-of-the-art L-band radar developed at NASA/Goddard as a test bed for the development of digital beamforming techniques. The instrument flew two test campaigns over the East coast of the United States in 2011, and 2012. During the campaigns the instrument operated in full polarimetric mode collecting data from vegetation and topography features for ecosystem structure and planetary analogue studies.
