The RADASAT-2 extended functions allow for high-resolution space imagery modes up to three meters as well as a selection of multiple polarisation modes. In the quad-pol mode, the SAR sensor on board RADARSAT-2 is able to measure the amplitude and the backscattered wave phase in all combinations of the antenna linear polarisations - emission and reception (HH, HV, VV AND VH). 3, record 2, English, - extended%20beam%20mode

Les fonctions [prolongés] de RADARSAT-2 dotent le satellite de modes d'imagerie à haute résolution spatiale, soit jusqu'à 3 m, mais aussi d'une sélection de polarisations multiples. En effet, grâce au mode d'acquisition en polarisation quadruple, le capteur SAR à bord de RADARSAT-2 peut mesurer l'amplitude et la phase de l'onde rétrodiffusée pour toutes les combinaisons de polarisations linéaires d'émission et de réception de l'antenne (HH, HV, VV et VH). 2, record 2, French, - mode%20faisceaux%20prolong%C3%A9s

Les angles d'incidence supérieurs à 49° sont couverts par les faisceaux à haute incidence jusqu'à un angle de 60°. Tout comme le faisceau à faible incidence, une dégradation mineure de l'image peut survenir puisque l'antenne fonctionne hors de ses capacités optimales. La résolution spatiale est la même que pour les faisceaux standards.
