This paper is a description of the projected radiometric calibration accuracy of the Shuttle Imaging Radar (SIR-C) sensor. The analysis includes the antenna, RF electronics, the digital data handling system, the platform attitude control, attitude determination accuracy and orbit effects. The radiometric distortion of the image products by the ground processing system used for the image formation is also considered. Since the SIR-C system is a dual-frequency quad-polarized system (i.e., 8 channels), the amplitude and phase error is considered over all possible operating modes and environments for absolute and relative (long-term and short-term) calibration both within a channel and across channels.
