Abstract

A multi-frequency polarimetric SAR named “IECAS-SAR” has been developed in Institute of Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IECAS). It is composed of four subsystems, namely, P-, L-, C- and X-band SAR sensors. It would play the role of a powerful remote sensing instrument and support scientific researches on the mechanism of scattering. The first-stage test flights have been flown, validating the SAR sensors and getting valuable results. An overview of this system and processing results are presented in the paper.
