Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
  • Spacecraft
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

[A beam mode] which covers a 100 x 100 km area, [and which] has seven beam positions.

CONT

Standard Beam Modes ... allow imaging over a wide range of incidence angles acquired in seven different modes referred to as S1 to S7. The incidence angles range from 20° at the inner edge of S1, to 49° at the outer edge of S7.

OBS

standard beam mode: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

  • Télédétection
DEF

Mode qui couvre une zone de 100 x 100 km et qui a sept positions de faisceau.

CONT

Le mode [...] standard permet l'acquisition d'images sur une grande gamme d'angles d'incidence acquis avec 7 modes différents, de S1 à S7. Les angles d'incidence varient entre 20° à la limite interne du faisceau S1, à 49° à la limite externe du faisceau S7. L'expérience acquise avec RADARSAT-1 a démontré que le mode standard génère des images qui offrent un bon compromis entre la résolution spatiale, la résolution radiométrique et le taux de couverture. Ce type de faisceau sera disponible en co-polarisation, en polarisation croisée, en double-polarisation ou en mode polarimétrique.

OBS

mode faisceau standard : terme uniformisé par le Groupe de travail de la terminologie de RADARSAT-2 (GTTR).
