Abstract:
This paper introduces the innovative concept of multidimensional waveform encoding for spaceborne synthetic aperture radar. The combination of this technique with digital beamforming on receive enables a new generation of SAR systems with improved performance and flexible imaging capabilities. Implementation specific issues will be discussed and performance examples demonstrate the potential for different remote sensing applications.
