## Editorial
MetaSAR-P is a MetaSensing multichannel P-band airborne SAR system for operation across 300 MHz to 600 MHz.[^metasar-p-datasheet-2022]

The 300 MHz to 600 MHz operating range has a 450 MHz midpoint.[^metasar-p-datasheet-2022]

MetaSAR-P uses up to 200 MHz bandwidth, resolution from 0.75 m, two alternating transmitters, two simultaneous receivers, full HH, VV, HV, and VH linear polarisation, less than 280 W at 28 V DC, and mass below 20 kg.[^metasar-p-datasheet-2022]

At 10,000 ft AGL, MetaSAR-P covers swaths from 2 km to more than 10 km.[^metasar-p-datasheet-2022]

MetaSAR-P supports repeat-pass interferometry, PolSAR, and TomoSAR operating modes.[^metasar-p-datasheet-2022]
