Abstract: 

Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems and payloads have undergone significant diversification. The spaceborne SAR system has evolved from Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO) and from monostatic to bistatic/multistatic. And the SAR payload has seen advancements from low-band to high-band, from single-polarization to multi-polarization and from fixed pulse repetition frequency to variable pulse repetition frequency.

The increasing diversity of spaceborne SAR systems and payloads has greatly facilitated signal processing, information processing, and applications in areas such as 2D/3D imaging, target detection and recognition, interferometry and differential interferometry, and terrain classification et al. Furthermore, the fusion of data from different spaceborne SARs, and of data from spaceborne SAR and other sensors, have enhanced application capability.

This section is focused on the signal processing, information processing and applications of novel spaceborne SARs, which will provide broad prospects for the data and application research of spaceborne SAR.
