... DInSAR [differential interferometry synthetic aperture radar] can measure differential propagation delay with millimetric accuracy as in the case of the C-band synthetic aperture radars of the European Sentinel-1 satellites.

OBS

synthetic aperture radar; SAR :[A] synthetic aperture radar(SAR) is a side-looking imaging radar usually operating on either an aircraft or a spacecraft. The radar transmits a series of short, coherent pulses to the ground producing a footprint whose size is inversely proportional to the antenna size, its aperture. Because the antenna size is generally small, the footprint is large and any particular target is illuminated by several hundred radar pulses. Intensive signal processing involving the detection of small Doppler shifts in the reflected signals from targets to the moving radar produces a high resolution image that is equivalent to one that would have been collected by a radar with a much larger aperture.

Domaine(s)
  • Constructions aéronautiques
CONT

Avant d'arrêter son choix sur le radar SLAMMR de Motorola, Boeing avait évalué une demi-douzaine de radars à antenne tournante, et un radar de recherche latérale à antenne fixe. Le radar devait notamment pouvoir détecter: les bateaux de pêche; les contrebandiers et autres contrevenants; les navires en détresse; les dangers pour la navigation; et les nappes dérivantes d'hydrocarbures.
