Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After the resounding success of the first edition of our Special Issue, titled “Spaceborne High-Resolution SAR Imaging”, we are thrilled to announce the second edition of this issue.
Spaceborne SAR denotes wide-range active microwave imaging equipment that has important application value in military reconnaissance, topographic mapping, disaster monitoring, and agricultural and forestry detection, and in other neighboring areas. With the continuous progress of various applications of spaceborne synthetic aperture radar, the demand for high spatial resolution and high temporal resolution in both military reconnaissance and civilian monitoring applications is increasing. At present, the resolution of the most advanced microwave photonic radar has reached the centimeter or even millimeter level, but it also poses a great challenge to the design and imaging of the SAR system, such as the contradiction between a high resolution and a wide swath, the bending problem of satellite orbits, poor imaging in real-time, and image recognition difficulties caused by massive data. In view of the above problems, the innovative development of the new system and technology of spaceborne high-resolution SAR will become the focus of this research area.
The focus of this Special Issue is to report the latest high-resolution spaceborne SAR imaging system and the technology behind it. Specifically, this includes (but is not limited to) the research of advanced radar technology, the latest spaceborne SAR imaging theory, target detection and recognition based on spaceborne SAR images, and the acquisition and mining of image target information.
- Novel spaceborne SAR missions, systems, and techniques;
- HRWS SAR;
- SAR satellite networking;
- Moving target detection and focusing with long synthetic aperture time;
- Spaceborne SAR interference;
- Three-dimensional deformation measurement of spaceborne SAR;
- Microwave photonic SAR imaging and its applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
