Research Abstract

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a multi purpose sensor that can be operated in all-weather and day-night time. Recently, the SAR sensor is operated in linear polarization (HH, VV and its combination) with limited retrieved information. The characteristics of the conventional SAR sensor are bulky, high power, sensitive to Faraday rotation effect etc. Recently, we are developing the Circularly Polarized Synthetic Aperture Radar (CP-SAR) onboard microsatellite to retrieve the physical information of Earth surface. For this purpose, we also developed the CP-SAR onboard unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for ground testing of this sensor. In the near future, CP-SAR sensor will be installed in small satellite and launch in 2014 to monitor the global environment, especially the global warming.
