Abstract

The Microwaves and Radar Institute of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is known for its consistent work on the field of airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar and its application. Currently, the Institute is developing a new advanced airborne SAR system, the DBFSAR, which is planned to supplement its operational F-SAR system in near future. The development of DBFSAR was triggered by the various evolving digital beamforming (DBF) techniques for future space-borne SAR systems and the need for an airborne experimental platform for preparation of such missions. Additionally, there is a demand for very high resolution SAR imagery, which cannot anymore be fully satisfied with the existing F-SAR system. This paper should give an overview over the current status and performance of the DBFSAR system, including interferometirc results from test flights performed in spring 2017.
