Abstract

The contest against electromagnetic spectrum are making the electromagnetic environment more and more congested. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) requires larger bandwidth to obtain finer resolution, and thus inevitably affected by radio emitters sharing the same frequency band. Most of the radio frequency interference (RFI) originated from the terrestrial emitters, while there are also rare cases with interfering signals from space-borne satellites. In this paper, we analyzed the mechanism of terrain scattered interference (TSI) from space-borne RFI sources, and provide a case study of the interference signatures in Sentinel-1 data.
