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

Fig.13.Block diagram showing the major steps in interferometric processing to generate topographic maps.Data for each interferometric channel are processed to full resolution images using the platform motion information to compensate the data for perturbations from a straight line path.One of the complex images is resampled to overlay the other,and an interferogram is formed by cross-multiplying images,one of which is conjugated.The resulting interferogram is averaged to reduce noise.Then,the principal value of the phase for each complex sample is computed.To generate a continuous height map,the two-dimensional phase field must be unwrapped.After the unwrapping process,an absolute phase constant is determined.Subsequently,the three-dimensional target location is performed with corrections applied to account for tropospheric effects.A relief map is generated in a natural coordinate system aligned with the flight path.Gridded products may include the target heights,the SAR image,a correlation map,and a height error

map.

contribute to target position errors.Fig.14graphically de-

defined in Fig.15.

To highlight the essential features of the interferometric

sensitivity,we simplify the geometry to a flat earth,with

useful for assessing system performance or making trade

studies.The full vector equation however is needed for use

in system calibration.

The sensitivity of the target position to platform position

in the along-track

direction,and

vertical

direction

have larger cross track position errors

than vertical errors.

The sensitivity of the target position to errors in the base-

line length,and baseline roll angles are given

by

is obtained from the third component of(30).

Fig.16represents an example of an interferometric

SAR system for topographic mapping.Several parameters

defining the performance sensitivity,and therefore calibra-

tion of the interferometer,relate directly to radar hardware

observables.

reduction of interferometric phase to height.This pa-

knowing the phase delays through the receiver
