Research fields

My research interests are measurement technologies using radio waves mainly focusing on microwave remote sensing by synthetic aperture radars (SARs). Recent research themes are as follows.
- Correction of ionospheric effects for L-band SAR interferometry
SAR interferometry is a promising technology for measuring terrains and ground movements globally. On the other hand, radio waves whose wavelength is 10 cm and more are occasionally affected by the ionosphere in a serious manner.
- Scattering mechanism decomposition for SAR polarimetry
Scattering mechanisms are decomposed into several types such as forest canopy, built-up area, ground surface and so on, based on polarization characteristics.
- Imaging 3d structure of ground surface using multiple SAR data
Scattering distributions in height direction over the ground surface are imaged from multi-baseline spaceborne SAR data.
- Application of ground-based radar measurements
Information collection by ground-based radars offers ability in civil security and diagnoses of structures.Silicon based thin film
