Bistatic radar with large baseline for bio-geophysical parameter retrieval
This work aims at defining applications, products and user requirements, as well as the hardware and ground processing design of a companion satellite mission which shall carry aboard a 'passive' radar working in tandem with the Argentinian L-band radar developed by CONAE and denoted as SAOCOM. The primary objective (i.e., science driver) of the SAOCOM companion satellite mission (SAOCOM-CS) is forest tomography, which will be carried out by exploiting small baselines between active and passive systems (order of km) changing with time.
