Performance status of the wave scatterometer SWIM

SWIM is a Ku-band radar designed for wave directional spectrum estimation. This radar operates at six incidence angles (from 0° to 10°) with a complete azimuth scanning covering a swath of 180 km. The phase B (addressing preliminary design) of SWIM is currently under finalization. In, the preliminar...

Description
Summary:SWIM is a Ku-band radar designed for wave directional spectrum estimation. This radar operates at six incidence angles (from 0° to 10°) with a complete azimuth scanning covering a swath of 180 km. The phase B (addressing preliminary design) of SWIM is currently under finalization. In, the preliminary design and associated performance analysis have been published taking into account the first results of Phase B design. This paper is focused on the last performance assessment of this phase B for all the measurements performed by the SWIM instrument.
