Axis Airborne Sar System: Flight-Test Results

In this work, we present some results of the flight-test campaign carried out with the AXIS system, which is an Italian single-pass interferometric airborne X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) based on the frequency modulated continuous wave technology. The system has recently been developed in the frame of a cooperation between a public research institute (IREA-CNR) and a private company (Elettra Microwave). The campaign was performed in 2018 over the Salerno area, South of Italy, and some corner reflectors (CRs) were deployed over the illuminated area with the aim of verifying the system performances in terms of geometric resolution and target location.
