Rosich ESA/ESRIN

2 Page 2 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 F IM Mode products characterised and preliminary calibrated at the ECR (September) for VV polarisation. F IM Mode optimisation peformed in October requires a revision of the product quality. Characterisation of HH polarisation also needed. F Very prelimianry verification of WSM products at the ECR for VV polsarisation. An additional change in the mode requires revision of product quality. Characterisation of HH polarisation also needed. Introduction

3 Page 3 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 IM Mode Optimisation IM mode optimisation at instrument level - Increase the Tx. Chirp BW to 16 MHz for all swaths (17-10-02): IM mode optimisation at processing level - Depends on product type

4 Page 4 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 ASAR IMS Product charateristics  Slant range, single look complex image.  Single polarisation VV or HH. Multiple incidence angles (IS1 to IS7). Coverage from 100 Km to 56 km  Natural pixel spacing in range and azimuth. Azimuth resolution from 4 m to 5 m. Range resolution from 9 m to 18 m due to decreasing chirp bandwidth.  Elevation antenna pattern correction not applied. Range spreading loss correction not applied.  Hamming window with a=0.75 applied in azimuth and range  Processing algorithm: Range Doppler. Phase preserving. 1751, IS1

5 Page 5 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 Change of processing settings & products characteristics for IMS products Range Processing: Full BW processed for all beams. Constant slant range resolution from IS1 to IS7. Change in quality requirements for IMS products.

6 Page 6 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 Azimuth processing: No changes. Gain settings: No changes. Complete Tx. BW used before/after the BW change. No changes in the processor gain. Same K as for data acquired before the BW change. IMS Absolute Calibration update

8 Page 8 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 Visible az. Ambigities for HH products - Distributed target ambig. ratio: -25.5 dB (IS5), -24 (IS4) Point target ambiguity ratio: ~-26 dB IMS HH Ambiguities Ambiguity ratio requirement is –25 dB. Migth be too high for HH products over low backscattering areas.

10 Page 10 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 Change of processing settings & product characteristics for IMP products Range Processing: - Range look BW: same as before, i.e. same range resolution - Number of range looks: same as before (1). Increase in noise level expected for the higher inc. ang. beams. Azimuth processing: - No changes. Same number of looks (4) and same look BW. Gain settings: - Gain adjusted to compensate the fact that the full Tx. BW is only partially processed. - Same K as for data acquired before the BW change.

11 Page 11 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 IMP Range resolution Measurements demonstrate that there is no change in range resolution and values are well within the requirements for VV & HH

12 Page 12 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 IMP Absolute Calibration Measurements demonstrate that the same absolute calibration factor applies for data acquired before and after the BW change.

13 Page 13 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 IMP Azimuth resolution, ISLR, PSLR - Values are within the requirements - High PSLR observed however in few cases

16 Page 16 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 IMM Product Characteristics Ground range projected detected products Nominal resolution < 150 m. Pixel spacing 75 m 8 looks in azimuth, 4 looks in range. ENL > 30 Antenna pattern and range spreading loss correction applied Data output as unsigned 16 bit Systematic stripline processing: products as long as the complete acquisition segment Innovative ground range projection to keep constant incidence angle at the center of the product (common to all stripline products)

17 Page 17 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 Range Processing: - Range look BW: same as before, i.e. same range resolution - Number of range looks: 10 (5 before). ENL increase expected. - Look overlap different for different beams. Different ENL expected. Change of processing settings & products characteristics for IMM products Azimuth processing: - No changes. Same number of looks (8) and same look BW.

18 Page 18 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 IMM ENL Measurements not available yet for all swaths. No changes expected for IS1 and IS2. For the beams with very small look overlap, values up to 80 looks are achieved Initial requirement for IMM ENL was 30 looks. Only negative impact is throughput Change in quality requirements needed.

19 Page 19 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002  Range & Azimuth Resolution match expected theoretical values for all beams  Theoretical values ranging from 107 m (far range IS1) to 160 m (near range IS1) IMM Spatial Resolution

24 Page 24 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 Initial instrument settings (till 13-08-02)  Tx.Chirp BW:  Mode timeline (pulses per burst): SS1-SS5: 50, 80, 67, 87, 74 Initial processing/product settings (version < 3.01):  Rg. Look BW:  Number of range looks: 3 Result: - Range resolution ~ 150 m and Azimimuth resolution ~90 m - ENL: below the requirements (12) -> from 8 for SS1 to 6 for SS5 WSM Initial product quality

25 Page 25 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 First mode optimisation at instrument level (13-08-02):  IncreaseTx.Chirp BW: First WSM optimisation (I) New processing/product settings (version >= 3.01):  Rg. Look BW:  Number of range looks: 7

26 Page 26 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 Result: Range resolution: ~ 120 m Azimimuth resolution: ~90 m -> High undersampling & not-square resolution ENL: higher than initial spec (12) Inter-burst ambiguities (~-21 dB) detected in high contrast scenes (already present before the BW change) First WSM optimisation (II)

27 Page 27 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 WSM 2703 Second WS mode optimisation at instrument level (30-10-02)  Change of mode timeline (expect SS1): SS1-SS5: 50, 65, 55, 71, 60 New processing settings:  None. Only AUX data updated Second WSM optimisation Result: F Removal of inter-burst ambiguities F Increase of Az. Res.

28 Page 28 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 WSM Final products resolution Nominal products are still undersampled: 1.2 in range, 1.4 in azimuth. Resolution is almost square. Could be adjusted to be more similar in both directions. IRF measurements performed on oversampled products of 40x40 m.

29 Page 29 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 K (VV) from rain forest: 69.08 dB WSM Absolute calibration update

30 Page 30 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 F Noise level for SS1 expected to be higher than for the other swaths. F Measured values for final settings: SS1: ~-22 dB SS2-SS5: ~-24,-25 dB The difference in noise level between SS1 and SS2 is clearly visible in the images. SS1 SS2 WSM Noise Equivalent  0

31 Page 31 ASAR Validation Review - ESRIN – 11-12 December 2002 F IM mode BW increase has resulted in an improved IMS and IMM product quality and will increase the IM InSAR performance. Products quality shall be now stable. F The BW increase shall be almost transparent for IMP products. Quality could be improved with multi-look in range. F WSM optimizations provide very good product quality. Products should be now stable. F Quality results for HH polarisation are equivalent to those for VV polarisation. Conclusions
