Author: Yuanhao Li. Nowadays spaceborne data from several altimeters (e.g., from Jason-1/2, Cryosat, etc.) can already resolve oceanographic phenomena with sizes in the order of 100 km. However, we cannot observe very well the submeso-scale oceanic features which may derive from smaller-scale eddies and currents. In this view, the observation …
RFx Solutions B.V. is the 17th partner entering into the NL-RIA network. Their expertise is in the field of small FMCW radars, communication systems and innovative antennas. We welcome them aboard and look forward to fruitful cooperation in the development of small satellite altimeters and swarmSAR systems.
We look back on the successful workshop on the current status of the NL-RIA research and the way to go ahead. The workshop was hosted by ISIS in Delft and took place on Wednesday 19 February 2020. Our four postdocs presented their results as till now. Yuanhao Li presented the …
A draft version of the minutes of the technical NLRIA workshop is now available in the Resources section. Due to the nature of the meeting and the sensitive details the document can be downloaded by NLRIA members only. If you don’t have a user account yet, then apply for one …
A resources page has been added to the website. The page contains documents, papers, presentations, minutes of meetings and more, but some of it is restricted to NL-RIA members only. Instructions on how to gain access are given when you try to access a restricted file. The resources segment is …

The Dutch company Hermess delivered the report User needs on radar altimetry data for offshore, oceanographic and maritime applications for the NL-RIA knowledge network. Hermess provides services for the maritime sector. These services are based on weather and wave modelling and are used to support, among others, design of offshore …
Alden Yellowhorse of the Mechatronic Systems Design department at TU Delft is tasked with the research on future foldable antenna systems for micro satellites. Discussion topics in coming project meetings will include antenna designs suitable for small satellites. This includes antenna performance requirements and analyses of multiple designs under consideration. …
