10 Definitions Radar - an acronym for Radio Detection And Ranging SLAR Sideways Looking Airborne Radar Measures range to scattering targets on the ground, can be used to form a low resolution image. SAR Synthetic Aperture Radar Same principle as SLAR, but uses image processing to create high resolution images IfSAR Interferometric SAR Generates X, Y, Z from two SAR images using principles of interferometry (phase difference) 10

13 What is RADAR? Radio Detection and Ranging Radar is a ranging instrument (range) distances inferred from time elapsed between transmission of a signal and reception of the returned signal imaging radars (side-looking) used to acquire images (~10m - 1km) altimeters (nadir-looking) to derive surface height variations scatterometers to derive reflectivity as a function of incident angle, illumination direction, polarisation, etc 13
14 What is RADAR? A Radar system has three primary functions: - It transmits microwave (radio) signals towards a scene - It receives the portion of the transmitted energy backscattered from the scene - It observes the strength (detection) and the time delay (ranging) of the return signals. Radar provides its own energy source and, therefore, can operate both day or night. This type of system is known as an active remote sensing system. 14

20 Radar wavelength Most remote sensing radars operate at wavelengths between 0.5 cm and 75 cm: X-band: from 2.4 to 3.75 cm (12.5 to 8 GHz). C-band: from 3.75 to 7.5 cm (8 to 4 GHz). S-band: from 7.5 to 15 cm (4 to 2 GHz). L-band: from 15 to 30 cm (2 to 1 GHz). P-band: from 30 to 100 cm (1 to 0.3 GHz). The capability to penetrate through precipitation or into a surface layer is increased with longer wavelengths. Radars operating at wavelengths > 2 cm are not significantly affected by cloud cover. Rain does become a factor at wavelengths < 4 cm. 20

22 Comparison of C band and L band SAR C-band L-band 22
23 23
24 Choice of wave length Radar wavelength should be matched to the size of the surface features that we wish to discriminate e.g. Ice discrimination, small features, use X-band e.g. Geology mapping, large features, use L-band e.g. Foliage penetration, better at low frequencies, use P-band In general, C-band is a good compromise New airborne systems combine X and P band to give optimum measurement of vegetation 24
25 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Imaging side-looking accumulates data along path ground surface illuminated parallel and to one side of the flight direction. Data, processing is needed to produce radar images. The across-track dimension is the range. Near range edge is closest to nadir; far range edge is farthest from the radar. The along-track dimension is referred to as azimuth. Resolution is defined for both the range and azimuth directions. Digital signal processing is used to focus the image and obtain a higher resolution than achieved by conventional radar 25
26 26
27 Principle of Synthetic Aperture Radar SAR Doppler frequency due to sensor movement Use Doppler frequency shift (relative to reference pulse) due to sensor movement to recombine multiple pulses into a single coherent image from an apparently much larger (synthesised) aperture 27
28 Azimuth resolution: synthetic aperture v L a ψ R Target time spent in beam = arc length / v = Rψ / v = Rλ / vl 28 a
29 Resolution τ 29

R a = S λ L T = duration of RADAR pulse T = o f the radar c = speed of light c = speed of light γ= depression angle ã = depression angle L = antenna length S = slant range = height/sinγ λ = wavelength cos : inverse relationship with angle 30
31 Resolution of SAR 31
32 Important point Resolution cell (i.e. the cell defined by the resolutions in the range and azimuth directions) does NOT mean the same thing as pixel. Pixel sizes need not be the same thing. This is important since (i) the independent elements in the scene are resolutions cells, (ii) neighbouring pixels may exhibit some correlation. 32

Radiometric specifications: Frequency: 5.3 GHz (C-band) Wave length: 5.6 cm 34
35 Speckle Speckle appears as noisy fluctuations in brightness 35
36 Speckle Fading / speckle - noise-like processes due to coherent imaging system. Local constructive and destructive interference Average multiple independent samples, can effectively reduce the effects of speckle e.g. by Multiple-look filtering, separates the maximum synthetic aperture into smaller sub-apertures generating independent looks at target areas based on the angular position of the targets. Therefore, looks are different Doppler frequency bands. Averaging (incoherently) adjacent pixels. Reducing these effects enhances radiometric resolution at the expense of spatial resolution. 36
37 Speckle 37
38 Speckle Radar images are formed coherently and therefore inevitably have a noise-like appearance Implies that a single pixel is not representative of the backscattering Averaging needs to be done 38
39 Multi-looking Speckle can be suppressed by averaging several intensity images This is often done in SAR processing Split the synthetic aperture into N separate parts Suppressing the speckle means decreasing the width of the intensity distribution We also get a decrease in spatial resolution by the same factor (N) Note this is in the azimuth direction (because it relies on the motion of the sensor which is in this direction) 39

48 Radiometric aspects the RADAR equation P r = (Power per unit area at target ) Eff. scatt. area of target Spread loss of reflected signal Eff. Antennae area Brightness is a combination of several variables. We can group these characteristics into three areas which fundamentally control radar energy/target interactions. They are: Surface roughness of the target Radar viewing and surface geometry relationship Moisture content and electrical properties of the target spaceborne/radar_courses/radar_course_iii/ radar_equation.htm 48
49 Returned energy Angle of the surface to the incident radar beam Strong from facing areas, weak from areas facing away Physical properties of the sensed surface Surface roughness Dielectric constant Water content of the surface Smooth Rough 49
50 Roughness Smooth, intermediate or rough? Jensen (2002; p314) surface height variation h Smooth: h < λ/25sin β Rough: h > λ/4.4sin β Intermediate β is depression angle, so depends on λ AND imaging geometry 50

55 Types of scattering of radar from different surfaces 55
56 Scattering 56
57 The Radar Equation The fundamental relation between the characteristics of the radar, the target, and the received signal is called the radar equation. The geometry of scattering from an isolated radar target (scatterer) is shown. When a power P t is transmitted by an antenna with gain G t, the power per unit solid angle in the direction of the scatterer is P t G t, where the value of G t in that direction is used. READ: Radar_Courses/Radar_Course_III/radar_equation.htm and Jensen Chapter 9 57
58 The Radar Equation We may rewrite the radar equation as two alternative forms, one in terms of the antenna gain and the other in terms of the antenna area R = range P = power G = gain of antenna A = area of the antenna Because Where: The Radar scattering cross section The cross-section σ is a function of the directions of the incident wave and the wave toward the receiver, as well as that of the scatterer shape and dielectric properties. f a is absorption A rs is effective area of incident beam received by scatterer G ts is gain of the scatterer in the direction of the receiver READ: radar_equation.htm And Jensen Chapter 9 58

61 Calibration of SAR Emphasis is on radiometric calibration to determine the radar cross section Calibration is done in the field, using test sites with transponders. 61
