A Cross-Estimation Method for Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar Range Antenna Pattern Using Pseudo-Invariant Natural Scenes by Chuanzeng Xu, Jitong Duan, Yongsheng Zhou, Fei Teng, Fan Zhang, Wen Hong

“…Accordingly, this paper proposes a novel method for estimating the SAR range antenna pattern based on cross-calibration. The method addresses three key challenges: (1) Identifying pseudo-invariant natural scenes suitable as reference targets through spatial uniformity and temporal stability assessments using standard deviation and amplitude correlation analyses; (2) Achieving pixel-level registration of heterogeneous SAR images with an iterative method despite radiometric imbalances; (3) Extracting stable power values by segmenting images and applying differential screening to minimize outlier effects. …”
