Sentinel 1B C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR): Interferometric Wide (IW) mode Single Look Complex (SLC) Level 1 data, Instrument Processing Facility (IPF) v2

This dataset contains Interferometric Wide swath (IW) Single Look Complex (SLC) C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from the European Space Agency (ESA) Sentinel 1B satellite. Sentinel 1B was lanched on 25th April 2016 and provides continuous all-weather, day and night imaging radar data. The IW mode is the main operational mode. The IW mode supports single (HH or VV) and dual (HH+HV or VV+VH) polarisation.

The IW SLC product contains one image per sub-swath, per polarisation channel, for a total of three or six images. Each sub-swath image consists of a series of bursts, where each burst was processed as a separate SLC image. The individually focused complex burst images are included, in azimuth-time order, into a single sub-swath image, with black-fill demarcation in between

Unlike SM and WV SLC products, which are sampled at the natural pixel spacing, the images for all bursts in all sub-swaths of an IW SLC product are re-sampled to a common pixel spacing grid in range and azimuth. The resampling to a common grid eliminates the need for further interpolation in case, in later processing stages, the bursts are merged to create a contiguous ground range, detected image.

These data are available via CEDA to any registered user.
