Initial evaluation of SAR capabilities in UAV multicopter platforms
(2017-10-04)
Article
Accés obertAirborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors have been commonly used during the last decades to monitor different phenomena in medium-scale areas of observation, such as object detection and characterization or topographic ... -
Feasibility of precise navigation in high and low latitude regions under scintillation conditions
(2018-02-06)
Article
Accés obertScintillation is one of the most challenging problems in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) navigation. This phenomenon appears when the radio signal passes through ionospheric irregularities. These irregularities ... -
