X-, C- and L-band InSAR: how wavelength affects monitoring suitability
How radar wavelength affects InSAR monitoring. Compare X-, C- and L-band trade-offs for vegetation, resolution and archives, and what to ask providers.
S-band InSAR: what NISAR's S-band radar adds
S-band sits between C- and L-band. Learn what NISAR's S-band radar offers for InSAR and how to judge whether it suits your monitoring needs.
P-band radar and InSAR: exciting science for forests and beyond
P-band radar, used by ESA's Biomass mission, reveals forest structure. Learn what it offers science and how it compares with bands used for asset monitoring.
L-band InSAR: when a longer radar wavelength gives you an advantage
L-band InSAR can keep useful coherence over vegetated and changing surfaces. Learn where the longer wavelength helps and which missions provide it.
C-band InSAR: the practical strengths of the most widely used radar band
C-band InSAR, including Sentinel-1, offers systematic coverage and a long archive for tracking ground movement. Learn where it performs best.
X-band InSAR: where short-wavelength radar delivers the most value
X-band InSAR delivers detailed movement data over buildings, industrial sites and exposed rock. Learn where it performs best and how to choose it well.
