This paper concerns the performance of the Flexible Dynamic Block Adaptive Quantizer (FDBAQ), the on-board data compression scheme used by Sentinel-1A (S-1), the C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system for Earth Observation launched on 3rd April 2014.FDBAQ has been designed to deal with the high instrument data rate due to the high spatial resolution and large swath width. S-1 SAR is able to acquire long data take, corresponding to large volumes of data stored on-board. Since FDBAQ has been implemented for the first time on S-1, the capabilities of such a compression scheme have not been tested on real data before.The purpose of this paper is to present the results of the analysis of real acquisitions acquired after the end of the Commissioning Phase, so in its full efficiency. FDBAQ is compared with the traditional Block Adaptive Quantizer (BAQ) compression scheme in terms of quantization noise level, average bit rate and signal to noise ratio. |
