Synthetic aperture radar interferometry is an imaging technique for measuring the topography of a surface, its changes over time, and other changes in the detailed characteristics of the surface. By exploiting the phase of the coherent radar signal, interf

is the effective normalized backscatter cross sec-

tion per unit height.The term“effective”is used to indicate

that is the intrinsic cross section of the medium atten-

uated by all propagation losses through the medium.The

Models for this term,and its use in the remote sensing of

vegetation height,will be discussed in the applications sec-

tion of this paper.

In repeat-pass systems,there is another source of decor-

tion to thermal noise,which is additive,SAR returns also

have other noise components,due to,for example,range

and Doppler ambiguities.An expression for the decorrela-

tion due to this source of error can only be obtained for ho-

mogeneous scenes,since,in general,the noise contribution

is scene dependent.Typically for simplicity these ambigui-

ties are treated as additive noise as part of the overall system

noise floor.

In general,the full correlation will comprise contribution

from all these

platforms are limited in their ability to repeat their flight track

spatially with sufficient control.For a given image resolu-

tion and wavelength,the critical baseline for spaceborne plat-

forms is longer than airborne platforms by the ratio of their

target ranges,typically a factor in the range of20–100.For
