Abstract :
A helicopter-borne dual-frequency FM-CW scatterometer for remote sensing is described. The scatterometer can measure the radar backscatter from a target with a range resolution of one meter. This is accomplished by preforming the Fast Fourier Transform to the received time-domain signal. The measurement is made simultaneously at eight channels (VV, HH, HV, and VH modes of polarization at 5.4 GHz and 9.8 GHz).
