Analysis of Image (1) Higher S/N Note : the images after gamma correction Road Watercourse Sandbar Difference between sandbars and watercourses appears in bistatic image. but these can not be found in monostatic image. Reason : Received signal level was high because of short distance. Yahagi-gawa River ?? PALSAR monostatic SAR imagePALSAR/Pi-SAR-L bistatic SAR image

12 IGARSS2011 : FR3.T01.1: THE BISTATIC SAR EXPERIMENT WITH ALOS / PALSAR AND Pi-SAR-L 12 3. Analysis of Image (2) Lower Azimuth Resolution The narrow roads in the monostatic SAR image are clearer than the ones in the bistatic SAR image. Az Profile (Next page) Unfortunately the azimuth resolution of the bistatic SAR image seems to be lower than that of the monostatic SAR image. Reason : Pi-SAR-L was not changed for simple feasibility trial. PALSAR monostatic SAR imagePALSAR/Pi-SAR-L bistatic SAR image

13 IGARSS2011 : FR3.T01.1: THE BISTATIC SAR EXPERIMENT WITH ALOS / PALSAR AND Pi-SAR-L 13 3. Analysis of Image (2) Lower Azimuth Resolution The possible reasons belong to the unchanged hardware mainly. 1.The shortage of sampling data  Pi-SAR-L has no function for the receiving time synchronization.  Received data by Pi-SAR-L has about only half of the original signal. 2.The instability of two oscillators of PALSAR and Pi-SAR-L  Oscillators of two SARs have no linkage for synchronization. 3.The relative motion between ALOS and the aircraft  SAR processor has the excellent motion compensation function.  But the influence of the relative motion may be left. Az Resolution is low in bistatic image. The monostatic SAR image : 4.6 m The bistaic SAR image : 8.4 m 8.4m 4.6m Bistatic Monostatic Az Profile

Analysis of Image (3) Difference of Detected Targets There are large differences of image at the yellow circles. Reason : The incidence angles were different and/or S/N was high.

Analysis of Image (3) Difference of Detected Targets (Bridges) All bridges on the map appear in the bistatic SAR image. It is difficult to detect two bridges in the monostatic SAR image. Its reason will be the different incidence angle and high S/N. “Digital Japan”,http://cyberjapan.jp/ PALSAR monostatic SAR imagePALSAR/Pi-SAR-L bistatic SAR image

The bistatic image : clear. Reason : difference of incidence angles and/or high S/N. Note : the images after gamma correction PALSAR monostatic SAR imagePALSAR/Pi-SAR-L bistatic SAR image

23 IGARSS2011 : FR3.T01.1: THE BISTATIC SAR EXPERIMENT WITH ALOS / PALSAR AND Pi-SAR-L 23 4. Conclusion The first PALSAR / Pi-SAR-L bistatic SAR experiment was succeeded. Bistatic SAR observation was possible without special functions. This bistatic SAR image has 3 features. 1. S/N is better, because of the short distance. 2. The azimuth resolution is lower, because of the unchanged hardware without synchronization. 3. Some different targets can be detected, because of the different incidence angles and/or high S/N. Future Work Unfortunately ALOS has been lost in this April. As future work, the next experiment is expected with ALOS-2 and Pi-SAR-L2 under development.
