Remote Sensing with Imaging Radar

More about the book

Focusing on the fundamentals of imaging radar, this book introduces readers to microwave imaging concepts without requiring prior knowledge of radar. It explores the evolution of radar technology, from early aircraft systems in the 1960s to modern multipolarisation and interferometric radar applications. The text highlights the historical context of remote sensing, contrasting the earlier dominance of optical systems with the recent resurgence of interest in microwave imaging due to its unique capabilities. The book aims to clarify the complexities of imaging radar for newcomers.
