An L-band noise radar demonstrator for ground-based measurements of ground surface backscattering

The paper describes a radar demonstrator that was used to collect L-band range profiles of illuminated ground surface. The measurement results are to be used by the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography as the reference data for satellite image interpretation. The demonstrator is a software-defined n...

Description
Summary:The paper describes a radar demonstrator that was used to collect L-band range profiles of illuminated ground surface. The measurement results are to be used by the Institute of Geodesy and Cartography as the reference data for satellite image interpretation. The demonstrator is a software-defined noise radar composed of commercial-off-the-shelf elements. The paper conveys the theory of scattering coefficient measurement, system setup, and signal processing as well as the preliminary results of the field measurement campaigns.
