The airborne SAR system with polarimetric and interferometric operating modes in X, C, S, L and P band. Geometric resolution from 4 meters to 25 centimeters, depending on the frequency band and user requirements.
F-SAR is the successor to the E-SAR system. It allows radar images to be recorded in five carrier frequencies. These are all fully polarimetric. Single-pass interferometry is possible in S-band and X-band.
The following picture gallery shows a selection of impressing visualizations of polarimetric SAR data taken in recent years with the two airborne SAR systems operated by DLR-HR in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany.
