Next Generation CORE Radar Electronics Subsystem for Sentinel_1

摘要

This paper presents the SAR Electronics Sub-system (SES) a part of the SAR instrument conceptfor the Sentinel-1 mission for GMES. It is presented in conjunction with the paper Ref1 ‘The CSARInstrument Design and Performance for the GMES Sentinel-1 Mission’.This paper presents the design considerations and approach for SES which is based directly onthe Astrium UK architecture and design concept of the Next Generation Core Radar ElectronicsSubsystem (NG CRESS). It focuses on the demands of the Mission requirements for a highlydependable delivery of quality radar data through a flexible and highly programmable architecture.
