Abstract :
In this paper, we present the results of raw echo data analysis with data error recovery, data processing, and the calibration results of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory´s airborne synthetic aperture radar (AIRSAR) for the Pacific Rim II mission. We also present the key elements of the calibration techniques for both polarimetric SAR (POLSAR) and cross-track interferometric SAR (TOPSAR) processed with the AIRSAR Integrated Processor
