IMPLEMENTATION OF TOPS MODE ON RADARSAT-2 IN SUPPORT OF THE SENTINEL-1 MISSION

摘要

TOPS is the main imaging mode on Sentinel-1 and hasrnbeen implemented recently as an experimental mode onrnRADARSAT-2. This paper describes aspects of thernbeam mode design for RADARSAT-2, and presents thernresults of expected coherence based on statisticalrnanalysis of existing RADARAT-2 InSAR stacks.rnPerformance results for radiometry and point targetrnanalysis are presented for the test scenes that have beenrnacquired. Doppler grid results and initial interferometryrnresults are also presented.
