Does calibration for RCM products in SNAP include thermal noise removal and incident angle correction?

Microwave Toolbox

Hi all,

I’m having the same question. I saw some discussion has been done here: Radarsat radiometric calibration - #2 by ABraun

However, it’s still unclear if the step is included. In the RCM reference, the RCM Image Product Format when noise is not substracted the calibration follows:

I’m comparing my data with Sentinel-1 values (after the thermal noise removal step) and they are similar to my RCM values, which were processed only using the calibration operator. Does anyone have a reference or a link to the source code that calibrates RCM in SNAP to verify the noise removal?

Thanks a lot!
