Analysis and Model of SAR Radiometric Calibration in Near-Space

Article Preview

Abstract:

Radiometric calibration of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an important work related to pixel values and the backscattering coefficient of ground targets. With a consideration of the difference between near space and spaceborne, airborne platforms, this paper proposes the radiometric calibration method which is applicable to near space platform. A radiometric calibration model of near space SAR is established, and it is analyzed and validated by experimental data.
