Popis: A SAR system has to be calibrated for quantitative measurement. During this process all essential parameters of a SAR image are linked to their geophysical quantity. This includes the location of the image pixel, its backscattering characteristics (in amplitude and in phase) and polarimetric information. The Microwave and Radar Institute of the DLR has gained a lot of experience in these calibration procedures during the last decades and has developed special methods and dedicated reference targets for spaceborne SAR system calibration. In example of calibration results obtained for different spaceborne SAR systems the DLR SAR Calibration Center is presented.
