1.Introduction

The great east Japan earthquake occurred on March 11,2011. NICT conducted urgent observations of the damaged areas by an airborne X-band SAR system (Pi-SAR2) on March 12. The observation areas were scattered over a 500 km wide area.
SAR images were processed in flight using the onboard processor. After landing, these SAR images were sent to the head office of NICT, distributed to headquarters for disaster control and uploaded to the website.
The second flight was conducted on March 18 to detect the change of damaged areas and to cover the other areas.

NICT developed and operated the airborne polarimetric and interferometric synthetic aperture radar(Pi-SAR) since 1996 with JAXA. The Pi-SAR made more than 100 observation flights since 1997. Over ten years experiences of NICT in development of Pi-SAR (X-band) and application research have indicated the effectiveness and limitation of remote-sensing of earth surface by existing airborne SAR systems, especially for disaster monitoring such as volcanic eruption, land-slide and flood.
・ Objective: To contribute to application research area such as disaster monitoring by improvement of the SAR system, NICT has developed new high performance airborne SAR system, “Pi-SAR2”since 2006.

●Switcher unit and high power amp. (TWTA)On board calibration function is in switcher unit.By using 2 sets of 8 kW (peak) TWT amplifierfor H-and V-pol. transmission independently,transmission duty ratio of each TWTA isreduced.

To achieve accurate signal processing , the clock of the D/A and A/D converters are determined as enough higher than the signal frequencies. Moreover, the real A/D conversion is adopted instead of the I-Q method to avoid the influence of non-orthogonality between I-Q channels.

*In all modes, Pi-SAR2 acquires full polarimetric (HH/VV/HV/VH) and interferometric (VVs/HVs) data.*Values are estimated with the airplane altitude of 12000 m and the ground speed of 220 m/s
Pi-SAR2 has polarimetric and interferometric functions with high spatial resolution of 0.3-0.6 m in along track (azimuth) direction and 0.3-0.5 m in cross track (slant-range) direction at X-band.Noise equivalent backscattering coefficient (NEσ0) will be kept under -27 dB in slant-range distance of 5-10km between incidence angles from 20 to 60 degree at the platform altitude of 12000 m.
