NASA's L-band Imaging Scatterometer (LIS) is a new state-of-the-art radar that combines electronic beam scanning and digital beam forming technologies. The instrument will be used in conjunction with ESTAR instruments to demonstrate the capability of making concurrent measurements of radar cross-section and radiometric brightness temperature from common targets. The main application of the instrument is the measurement of ocean salinity and soil moisture. This paper will discuss the instrument design, calibration, and digital beamforming techniques.
