P-3 SAR Calibration Activity at Andros Island

Abstract

From 26 May 1990 through 9 June 1990 the NADC/ERIM P-3/SAR collected calibration data over Andros Island. Several calibration reflectors were deployed on the ground at Andros town. The P-3/SAR typically imaged the reflectors during one pass at the start of each day's flight and one pass at the end of the day. These images were quickly processed to verify focussing and linearity of the SAR. The calibration activity demonstrated that the P-3/SAR was operating properly during the mission and that the data is calibratable.
