Recent Advances in Synthetic Aperture Radar Remote Sensing—Systems, Data Processing, and Applications

This letter closes a special stream consisting of selected papers from the fifth Asia-Pacific Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar in 2015 (APSAR 2015). The latest research results and outcomes from APSAR 2015, particularly on the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems/subsystems design, data processing techniques, and various SAR applications in remote sensing, are summarized and presented. All these results represent the recent advances in SAR remote sensing. Hopefully, this letter can provide some references for SAR researchers/engineers and stimulate the future development of SAR technology for remote sensing.
