Polarization refers to the orientation of the electric field... Most radars are designed to transmit microwave radiation either horizontally polarized(H) or vertically polarized(V).

Il s'agit d'une diode à vide entourée d'un puissant aimant permanent. La cathode, au centre, émet des électrons qui sont attirés vers une anode concentrique lorsque cette dernière est portée à un potentiel positif. Or le champ magnétique fait dévier les électrons dont la trajectoire prend la forme d'une spirale... ce qui donne lieu à des oscillations. Aussi l'anode contient des cavités résonantes qui entretiennent les oscillations dans la bande des hyperfréquences. L'énergie qui en résulte, pouvant atteindre plusieurs mégawatts, est acheminée vers l'antenne à l'aide d'un réseau de guides d'ondes.

The MLS detects naturally occurring microwave thermal emissions from Earth's limb to create vertical profiles of atmospheric gasses, temperature, pressure and cloud ice. MLS looks 90° from the angle of UARS’ [Upper Atmosphere Research Statellite] orbit. Thermal radiation enters the instrument through a three-mirror antenna system. The antenna mechanically scans in the vertical plane through the atmospheric limb every 65. 5 seconds. The scan covers a height range from the surface up to 90 km(55 miles). Upon entering the instrument, the signal from the antenna is separated into three signals for processing by different radiometers. The 63-GHz radiometer measures temperature and pressure. The 183-GHz radiometer measures water vapor and ozone. The 205-GHz radiometer measures ClO, ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitric acid and water vapor. 2, record 14, English, - microwave%20limb%20sounder

In synthetic aperture radar(SAR) imaging, microwave pulses are transmitted by an antenna towards the Earth surface. The microwave energy scattered back to the spacecraft is measured. The SAR makes use of the radar principle to form an image by utilising the time delay of the backscattered signals. In real aperture radar imaging, the groud resolution is limited by the size of the microwave beam sent out from the antenna. Finer details on the ground can be resolved by using a narrower beam. The beam width is inversely proportional to the size of the antenna, i. e. the longer the antenna, the narrower the beam. 2, record 18, English, - radar%20pulse

La génération d'une image SAR nécessite la combinaison de deux mécanismes de balayage. Tout d'abord un balayage latéral. Chaque impulsion se propopage à une vitesse égale à celle de la lumière (c = 3.108 m.s-1) selon la direction de visée du satellite (across track), l'écho reçu au niveau de l'antenne est ensuite échantillonné à la fréquence fe (18.96 Mhz pour ERS-1).

Les échelles de grandeur des divers mécanismes mis en jeux étant différentes, nous pouvons les supposer indépendants entre eux. Le signal reçu peut être ainsi organisé dans une matrice bi-dimensionnelle, où les paramètres de temps et de distance sont représentés respectivement en ligne par le cadencement des impulsions (PRF) et en colonne par la position des échos sur la ligne, une ligne étant acquise à chaque émission d'une impulsion radar (ou pulse). Une colonne de l'image représentera l'ensemble des réponses des réflecteurs placés à une distance donnée de l'antenne (distance radiale).

The microwave beam from the satellite solar power station(SSPS) is triggered by a pilot signal beamed from the center of the receiving antenna to provide the necessary phase control to produce a coherent beam. Otherwise, if the beam were to drift, its coherence would be lost, the energy dissipated, and the resulting power density would approximate normal communication signal levels on Earth. 2, record 22, English, - satellite%20solar%20power%20station
