The new generation of spaceborne radar altimeter will have to provided with several operating modes in order to cope with the various mission requirements such as land topography mapping in high or moderate resolution, wide swath imaging, and possibly rain rate measurement. A system concept of novel high performance radar altimeter to meet that requirements as well as the land and flight experiment results obtained with the first demonstration prototype are described. The advantages of this type altimeter are high measurement accuracy and flexible for the various operation mode.
