Venus Radar Mapper (VRM) - Multimode radar system designThe paper describes the radar design of the Venus Radar Mapper (VRM), which is intended to acquire global radar imaging and altimetry data of the Venus surface. The radar design requirements are satisfied through the use of an existing Voyager antenna for the SAR function and newly developed sensor and altimeter antenna subsystems. The sensor utilizes a block adaptive quantizer to maximize science data return with minimum transmission of radar data back to earth.
