Corner reflectors designed for radar are targets that reflect the wave emitted by the satellite back to the antenna. The combined reflections on the 3 mirors redirect the waves in their original direction and it can be demonstrated by simple math. We can decompose… Continue Reading →

SAR sensors are echo-localization systems. They measure the time between the emission of an electromagnetic pulse and its reception after that it have been backscattered by targets. This time is firstly converted in distance and then in pixels. The coordinates of… Continue Reading →
