A Multichannel Wiener Filter Method of Deformation Measurement for Simultaneous Multiangle Spaceborne D-InSAR

Simultaneous multiangle spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can provide spatially diverse SAR images of the same scene without time lags. Through differential SAR interferometry (D-InSAR), the system can extract accurate multidimensional deformations from the mixing differential tropospheric delay (DTD), which generally distorts...

Retrieval of Wind and Total Surface Current Vectors Using Experimental Bidirectional Along-Track Interferometric TanDEM-X Data

Observations of wind and ocean surface velocity vectors by along-track interferometry (ATI) with the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are not only important for direct applications but also to increase understandings of ocean upper layer mixing, air-ocean interactions, and mapping submesoscale (1-10 km) structures. An experimental bidirectional...

Bistatic SAR Image Formation and Interferometric Processing for the Stereoid Earth Explorer 10 Candidate Mission

This paper addresses the aspects of image formation and interferometric processing in the frame of the STEREOID Earth Explorer 10 candidate mission. In particular, the large along-track baseline configuration (approx. 250 km), which results in a high Doppler centroid, will be addressed in terms of bistatic SAR image formation and...

Performance of 3-D Surface Deformation Estimation for Simultaneous Squinted SAR Acquisitions

This paper addresses the performance in the retrieval of 3-D mean deformation maps by exploiting simultaneous or quasi-simultaneous squinted synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometric acquisitions in a repeat-pass scenario. In multisatellite or multibeam low earth observation missions, the availability of two (or more) lines of sight ...
