English

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

The three-metre resolution data generated by RADARSAT-2 will be the highest-resolution commercially available SAR data, offering enhanced detection of closely spaced objects, as well as enhanced definition of other objects. As the first commercial radar satellite to offer multi-polarization (HH, HV,VH and VV), RADARSAT-2 will offer significantly improved surface discrimination.

OBS

multi-polarization: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

Key term(s)
  • multi polarization
  • multi polarisation

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
  • Engins spatiaux
  • Télédétection
CONT

Les données à résolution de trois mètres générées par RADARSAT-2 constitueront de toutes les données SAR commerciales disponibles celles qui auront la meilleure résolution, offriront une meilleure capacité de détection d'objets peu espacés de même qu'une définition améliorée des autres objets. À titre de premier satellite radar commercial à offrir une polarisation multiple (HH, HV, VH et VV), RADARSAT-2 assurera une capacité bien supérieure de discrimination des types de surface.

OBS

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