Abstract :
The method of test signal generation for space-borne SAR radiometric resolution experimental measurement is proposed. The distributed target echo signal is simulated by means of an active receiver in flight tests and by means of a hardware-in-the-loop workbench in ground tests. Radar test image analysis is performed using Differential Radiocontrast method.
