The Flugzeug Synthetic Aperture Radar (F-SAR) is an airborne radar developed and operated by the German Aerospace Center (DLR). F-SAR provides radar imagery across five polarimetric frequencies at the X-, C-, S-, L-, and P-bands. F-SAR has a resolution of 0.25 to 4 meters, depending on which frequency band the instrument is operating on. It has a swath width of 1 to 5 km and a maximum operating altitude of 6,100 meters above sea level. F-SAR is operated on DLR’s DO228 aircraft.
