Abstract
This paper presents an investigation on scalloping correction in the TOPS imaging mode for SAR systems with electronically steered phased array antennas. A theoretical simulation of the scalloping is performed and two correction methods are introduced. The simulation is based on a general cardinal sine (sinc) antenna model as well as on the TerraSAR-X antenna model. Real TerraSAR-X data acquired over rainforest are used for demonstration and verification of the scalloping simulation and correction. Furthermore a calibration approach taking into account the special TOPS imaging mode properties is introduced.
