Polarimetric Maritime Surveillance Radars with Electronically Steered Antennas
By ISPASThis paper presents the ISPAS dual-polarised Ku-band radar with electronically steered antennas for maritime surveillance.
The radar is designed to measure the sea surface for detection and mapping of oil spill around oil producing platforms on both coarse and quiet sea while at the same time be able to measure sea wave heights, sea currents and vessel traffic. The radar has also been tested for sea ice detection.
