Multi-Platform, Multi-Frequency SAR Campaign with the F-SAR and Miranda35 Sensors

Multi-platform campaigns open up new opportunities and allow a comparison and analysis of SAR signatures of the same area at different frequency bands and incident angles. In this paper, we make use of two different sensor systems: DLR's pulsed F-SAR operating at X-, C- and L-band, and FHR's frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) MIRANDA35 operating at Ka-band. Main goals of the campaign include the comparison of high-resolution polarimetric signatures at different frequency bands, change detection, synchronized acquisition of ground moving targets and air-moving target indication (AMTI) experiments. We present the planning and implementation of the campaign and first results of the data processing.
