Abstract

The architecture of framework to simulate Digital Beamforming reflector-based SAR systems is presented. The mai purpose of this tool is to allow the development and evaluation of DBF processing and calibration techniques unde realistic conditions. One of the main challenges is to model the antenna patterns, including their polarimetric characteristic and topography dependencies.
