Design and testing of multi-rotor UAV full-pol SAR system

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), with its all-time and allweather operation capability, is nowadays one of the most important surveillance techniques. A multi-rotor UAV-based full polarimetric (full-pol) Ku-band SAR system with flexible deployment capability has been developed by NTU staff and students. The compact and light-weight SAR system employs linear frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW) to simplify the system architecture. The preliminary experiment results and data analysis are presented.
