      In this paper the bistatic SAR observation from low-eccentric nearly zero inclined geosynchronous orbits (GEOSAR) is studied. Two operation frequencies have been analysed with different compromises between spatial resolution ...
    • Impact of clutter decorrelation on Geosynchronous SAR

      We discuss the effects of the clutter on a Geosynchronous SAR system exploiting long integration times (from minutes to hours) to counteract for spread losses and increase azimuth resolution. Only stable targets will be ...
    • Impact of scene decorrelation on geosynchronous SAR data focusing

      We discuss the effects of the clutter on geosynchronous SAR systems exploiting long integration times (from minutes to hours) to counteract for two-way propagation losses and increase azimuth resolution. Only stable targets ...
    • Internal clutter motion impact on the long integration GEOSAR acquisition 

      Ruiz Rodon, Josep; Broquetas Ibars, Antoni; Makul, Eduardo; Monti Guarnieri, Andrea; Recchia, Andrea (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)

      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      In this paper, the impact of the internal clutter motion in GEOSAR acquisitions is analyzed. A nearly zero inclination with low eccentricity geosynchronous orbit is considered and, therefore, long integration, in order of ...
