SAR is a type of radar which works with antenna and receiver using radio waves which can create two dimension or three dimension of the objects . A synthetic-aperture radar is an imaging radar mounted on a moving platform. SAR gives high resolution data and works 24*7.
Ground penetrating radar
Ground penetrating radar uses electromagnetic pulses to detect objects and interfaces between materials underground. It works by sending a pulse into the ground and measuring the reflected signals, which contain information about subsurface layers and objects. GPR systems include antennas, a control unit, and display for data collection and analysis. Data analysis involves calibrating the system and determining dielectric constants to interpret reflection signals and identify subsurface features like pipes, tanks, rebar, and voids. GPR offers fast, nondestructive scanning but performance depends on material properties and density of targets. Common manufacturers provide handheld to vehicular GPR systems ranging in price from $6,500 to $48,000.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) uses signal processing techniques to synthesize a large antenna from data collected by a physically small antenna as it moves along a flight path. This allows SAR to achieve high-resolution images independent of altitude. SAR transmits microwave pulses and analyzes the returned echoes to build up images of the terrain. SAR has various applications including topographic mapping and measuring ocean waves, currents, and wind. Ocean backscatter measured by SAR is influenced by surface roughness driven by factors like wind as well as hydrodynamic effects of waves and currents.

It aims to achieve a spatial resolution of 30m and a swath width of 30km within the size and power constraints of a small satellite payload. The design uses S-band frequencies, a 3m x 1m antenna, and pulse compression techniques to achieve the desired resolution while meeting μ-SAT limitations on dimensions, mass, and power.

Fujimura_Presen.ppt
This document summarizes the results of the first bistatic SAR experiment using JAXA's PALSAR satellite radar and NEC's Pi-SAR-L airborne radar. The bistatic image showed higher signal-to-noise ratio, lower azimuth resolution, and ability to detect different targets than the monostatic images. Analysis found the bistatic image had better visibility of small features due to its shorter receiver-target distance. Its lower resolution was likely due to Pi-SAR-L not having synchronization functions. Some targets appeared differently between images from their varying incidence angles and signal levels.
Application of Ground Penetrating Radar in Subsurface mapping
The document summarizes a study that used ground penetrating radar (GPR) to map subsurface sand layers at a beach in Nagoor, India impacted by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. GPR profiles along a 60m transect and trench revealed dipping sediment layers deposited by coastal waves. Multiple sand and heavy mineral layers were identified below 1m depth, indicating the tsunami eroded the surface and deposited new layers. Granulometric data from sediment cores correlated well with GPR readings, demonstrating GPR's effectiveness in mapping tsunami-impacted subsurface geology.
Active Phased Array Radar Systems
An active phased array radar system uses a digital beamforming architecture with transmit/receive modules behind each radiating antenna element. This distributed amplifier approach improves noise figure and clutter attenuation compared to passive arrays. Digital beamforming allows formation of multiple simultaneous beams and improved dynamic range. Dual polarized arrays can operate in different modes like alternating transmit and simultaneous receive to measure linear depolarization ratios. Future trends include integrating more components into the antenna and using wideband semiconductor devices.

This document summarizes analyses of break-and-enter occurrences in London, Ontario in 2006. Four analyses were conducted: inverse distance weighted interpolation to estimate break-in rates across the city; hotspot analysis to identify statistically significant clusters of high or low break-in rates; geographically weighted regression to model relationships between demographic variables and break-in rates; and a space-time cube to visualize break-in counts over locations and months. The results show generally higher predicted and observed break-in rates in southern and northeastern areas of the city and downtown core, and lower rates in northern and northwestern areas.

Massachgusetts, USGS, and Fugro/Earthdata
The document summarizes a successful public-private partnership in Massachusetts for statewide mapping programs. Key points include that the partnership between MassGIS, USGS, Dewberry, and Fugro EarthData produced high-quality orthoimagery and derived map products at a lower cost than if municipalities obtained the data individually. Lessons learned were to set clear specifications driven by applications, communicate costs effectively, and leverage each partner's expertise through collaboration and trust.
EcoSAR Technology IGARSS Presentation.pdf
The Goddard Space Flight Center is developing a new radar called EcoSAR to measure ecosystem structure and biomass from aircraft. EcoSAR will use synthetic aperture radar with electronic beam steering and digital beamforming to acquire polarimetric and interferometric measurements at P-band frequencies. These measurements will help quantify biomass, canopy height, ecosystem structure and changes due to natural disturbances. EcoSAR will fly on NASA's P3 aircraft and acquire data to study the carbon cycle and climate change. Its development is ongoing with the design of antenna arrays and radar electronics.

2013 Geospatial Data and Project Management Track, Risk Management in Geospat...
No matter how well we plan and organize our projects, the odds are something outside the plan will happen to throw our project off-track. This “something” could impact schedule, cost, quality or any combination of the triple constraints. If at the beginning of the project we can identify potential events or risks that will have project impact; categorize each by its magnitude of impact and likelihood to occur; and develop a risk management plan to mitigate or eliminate these impacts we can lead a much more successful project. In this presentation we will explore a simple and basic approach to risk management.

A REVIEW ON SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR
In the modern age, High-resolution radar images can be achieved by employing SAR technique. It is well
known that SAR can provide several times better image resolution than conventional radars. The exploration for efficient
image denoising methods still remains a valid challenge for researchers. Despite the difficulty of the recently proposed
methods, mostly of the algorithms have not yet attained a pleasing level of applicability; each algorithm has its
assumptions, advantages, and limitations. This paper presents a review of synthetic aperture radar. Behind a brief
introduction in our work we are especially targeting the noise called backscattered noise in SAR terminology which
causes the appearance of speckle Potential future work in the area of air flight navigation, mapping Weather Monitoring

vision, is also discussed.

Cascaded ROADM Tolerance of mQAM Optical Signals Employing Nyquist Shaping
This document summarizes a study on the cascaded ROADM tolerance of mQAM optical signals employing Nyquist shaping. It found that 50GHz channel spaced systems can pass through over 40 ROADMs with minimal penalty, while 37.5GHz spaced systems incur high penalties after less than 10 ROADMs. To improve the tolerance of narrower spaced systems, the study explored using ROADMs with enhanced filter shapes, which provided around a twofold increase in tolerance, and increasing the DSP tap count for a slight additional benefit. Optimizing additional factors like rolloff, timing recovery, and spectral compensation may further improve the cascaded tolerance of closely spaced mQAM signals.

LTE Features, Link Budget & Basic Principle
Here are the steps to solve this problem:
1) Calculate MAPL using propagation model (Hata, Cost231 etc.)
Given: Carrier freq = 900MHz, BS height = 30m, Tx power = 20W
Using Hata model, calculate MAPL
2) Calculate cell range using MAPL
Cell range = sqrt(MAPL/2)
3) Calculate number of cells required for 100sqkm area
Number of cells = Area/Cell area
Cell area = pi * (Cell range)^2
4) Number of sites = Number of cells
For the given parameters, the calculations would provide the number of sites required.
