SAR Payload
StarSAR-X
The StarSAR-X is the high performance X band radar system which MetaSensing offers with the most advanced capabilities.
It is a completely phased array radar system with electronic steering in both azimuth and elevation, enabling the implementation of all the SAR imaging mode: Stripmap, Spotlight, ScanSAR, TopSAR.
Based on a microstrip patch array antenna, it comes both in single and full polarization configurations.
The included calibration line and the thousands of digital controlled Transmit/Receive Modules (TRMs) allow for a very precise calibration of the generated SAR image, both in terms of phase stability and radiometric accuracy.
With slant range resolution up to 0.15 m, the StarSAR-X is the right system for very high performance SAR images.
