Transponder and corner reflector for the calibration of Sentinel-1D
The DLR SAR Calibration Center at the DLR Microwaves and Radar Institute has been serving as the central calibration facility for the Sentinel-1 mission since 2014. Transponders and corner reflectors provide reference targets against which the radar systems are calibrated. They are installed across a swath more than 100 kilometres wide to the west of Munich.
