Abstract
Abstract. Polarimetric MiniSAR is a ku-band fully polarimetric SAR mapping system that is being developed at CASM (Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping). The system consists of a ku-band fully polarimetric miniSAR data acquisition system and a set of miniSAR mapping software. Nowadays, as the most representative SAR system in China, polarimetric miniSAR mapping system have developed multiple advanced miniSAR mapping techniques, a large scale of mapping experiment has been achieved.
Highlights
Nowadays, mapping and emergency response in cloudy and foggy areas have become a major demand for mapping in China
MiniSAR systems has been applied in topographic mapping and emergency response, such as natural hazards and environmental monitoring in past years (Zaugg et al, 2010)
The miniSAR sensor is designed for use of a linear frequencymodulated continuous-wave (LFM-CW) signal facilitates compact design, allowing us to achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio while transmitting with less peak power
Summary
Nowadays, mapping and emergency response in cloudy and foggy areas have become a major demand for mapping in China. MicroASAR is small, low-cost, SAR systems designed by BYU (Brigham Young University) Artemis Inc. and Hauppauge (Edwards et al, 2008). The MicroASAR has been designed to be small and lightweight (a mass of less than 3.3 kg) while still being robust and capable. SAR that represent a new advancement in high-performance SAR applications is a SlimSAR designed by the same organization as MicroASAR (Zaugg et al, 2010). MiniSAR systems has been applied in topographic mapping and emergency response, such as natural hazards and environmental monitoring in past years (Zaugg et al, 2010). Lowing future, the UAV will provide an excellent opportunity for the demonstration and evaluation of SAR technology for unmanned monitoring and emergency response tasks
