Abstract

Geosynchronous SAR (GEO SAR) has great potentials in Earth observation as its wide swath coverage and fine resolution. But the long integration time is a double-edged sword which will lead to the error accumulations and the resultant performance degradation. In this paper, 3 demonstration experiments are presented for validating GEO SAR focusing feasibility and interferometry under long integration time, and the ionospheric influences. The GNSS satellites, including the Beidou IGSO and GPS satellites, are employed as illuminators. The principles, configurations, data processing and analysis are given for the 3 experiments separately. The experiment results validate well that GEO SAR can focus well and measure surface height with a good accuracy.
