Abstract
The first airborne experiment with a new upgraded VHF SAR system was carried out in October 1996. A very flat island was selected as the test area to minimize the influence from the topography and facilitate the calibration and system analyses. Data acquired over the area with this new sensor, CARABAS II, have successfully been processed. The major problem encountered concerns large paired-echo sidelobes. To improve the image quality, a careful system analysis has been carried out to obtain correction coefficients for the signal processing to compensate the overall amplitude and phase ripple. The results presently available indicate resolution figures somewhat lower compared to the theoretical values. It is believed that the main explanation for the found performance degradation is insufficient information of the antenna characteristics and the measures currently taken for the radio frequency interference filtering.
期刊介绍：
Remote Sensing Information is a bimonthly academic journal supervised by the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People's Republic of China and sponsored by China Academy of Surveying and Mapping Science. Since its inception in 1986, it has been one of the authoritative journals in the field of remote sensing in China.In 2014, it was recognised as one of the first batch of national academic journals, and was awarded the honours of Core Journals of China Science Citation Database, Chinese Core Journals, and Core Journals of Science and Technology of China. The journal won the Excellence Award (First Prize) of the National Excellent Surveying, Mapping and Geographic Information Journal Award in 2011 and 2017 respectively.
Remote Sensing Information is dedicated to reporting the cutting-edge theoretical and applied results of remote sensing science and technology, promoting academic exchanges at home and abroad, and promoting the application of remote sensing science and technology and industrial development. The journal adheres to the principles of openness, fairness and professionalism, abides by the anonymous review system of peer experts, and has good social credibility. The main columns include Review, Theoretical Research, Innovative Applications, Special Reports, International News, Famous Experts' Forum, Geographic National Condition Monitoring, etc., covering various fields such as surveying and mapping, forestry, agriculture, geology, meteorology, ocean, environment, national defence and so on.
Remote Sensing Information aims to provide a high-level academic exchange platform for experts and scholars in the field of remote sensing at home and abroad, to enhance academic influence, and to play a role in promoting and supporting the protection of natural resources, green technology innovation, and the construction of ecological civilisation.
