| Abstract | The Environment Canada SAR-580 system includes a fully polarimetric C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar which is used for a number of purposes. These include support of the Emergencies Science functions of
Environment Canada and research in advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar techniques for a number of Canadian institutions including the Department of National Defence, the Canadian Space Agency, and Natural Resources Canada. The system has evolved from a
dual-channel C-band conventional Synthetic Aperture Radar originally developed in 1986 by MacDonald Detwiller and Associates of Richmond, BC, Canada. Since 1996, it has remained largely stable as a full polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar allowing
an assessment of its stability and calibration characteristics. In this paper, we review the system architecture and performance. |
