Design of Ku-band High Power Solid State CryoSat Transponder
High power solid state transponder for CryoSat operating in Ku-band, centre frequency is 13.575 GHz and bandwidth is 350 MHz and delay between consecutive pulses is 370 ns is proposed. For calibration purpose ground based transponders are deployed in different areas under the range window of the radar altimeter. Transponders are deployed under the passage of satellite. Transponder provides a target of stable radar cross-section, which can be directly measured, and can be used for calibration of the radar cross-section measurement.
