Electronic Corner Reflector - ECR-C
Electronic Corner Reflector C-band
The MetaSensing Electronic Corner Reflector - C band (ECR-C) is a compact active transponder developed for the end-users of satellite-borne C-band Synthetic Aperture Radars.

Description
ECR-C is a user-deployed permanent scatterer designed to receive a weak signal from a satellite radar, amplify and filter this signal, and transmit it back to the satellite. This allows for very precise measurements of location and relative displacement, invaluable for satellite-based Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) measurements.
The user is required to provide the time and duration of satellite overpasses, which can be uploaded to the ECR-C with a user-friendly control software over USB connection. The ECR-C is designed to have an active amplification mode while a satellite is passing overhead, and a sleep mode while waiting for a satellite to pass over.
