Please join us for the MDA-hosted workshop on multi-band SAR presented by MDA (Canada), Iceye (Finland) and VENG (Argentina). After presenting SAR fundamentals, we will dive deep into the specifications of X-band (Iceye), C-band (RADARSAT-2) and L-band (SAOCOM) missions, as well as the sensors’ merit and strength in specific applications that are of relevance to Canada. The last hour would be Q&As and discussion.
