The ERS-1 radar altimeter instrument
Abstract
The ERS-1 (ESA) radar altimeter system design parameters are discussed. Parameter tracking loops (time delay between transmitted pulse and return echo leading edge half power point; significant wave height; ocean reflectivity) are described. Hardware for the RF/IF signal processing sections is presented.
