Antenna elevation pattern estimation is based on acquisitions over a large homogeneous rain forest area in the Amazonrnbasin. The estimation procedure accepts IMP and WSM products as input and generates a combined estimate from asrnmany input products as are available for a certain beam. For IS3-IS6 IM and WS products can be combined as well.rnBeam patterns for vertical polarization have been generated. Comparison with the pre-launch patterns allows to verifyrnthe compensation of the receiver gain droop. Pattern corrected range profiles have been analysed with respect to beamto-rnbeam radiometric normalization.
