Abstract

The paper presents the instrument concept and performance of a Ka-band single-pass interferemetric mission proposed for measuring topography and topographic changes. A formation flying constellation of two compact synthetic aperture radars (SAR) satellites equipped with innovative digital beamforming hardware and advanced operation modes is described.
