Conceptual studies for exploiting the TerraSAR-X dual receive antenna

This Paper describes the newly introduced Dual Re- ceive Antenna Mode (DRA) of the TerraSAR-X instrument. It explains the principle of forming two receiving antennas and deals with the already identified new applications and experi- ments enabled by this new mode, e.g. along track interferometry, geometric resolution enhancement and full polarimetric mode.
