Abstract

Scientific, technical and organization aspects of shortening intercalibration period of space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are considered. In this paper it is proposed to use for calibration of SAR antennas groundbased antennas of space radio communication, radio telescopes, meteo radars, etc. in the additional (background) regime at pauses in main work. Recommendations on integration of calibration means in nets of different level are created.
