Abstract

The geodetic quality of a low-cost commercial off-the-shelf InSAR transponder has been empirically assessed, both under controlled conditions and operationally for landslide monitoring. Comparison of 113 transponder-InSAR observations with independent validation measurements (levelling or GPS) yields a transponder precision range of 1.8-4.6 mm after outlier removal for double-difference (spatial and temporal) phase measurements in the satellite line of sight for Envisat and ERS-2, making it a compact and lightweight alternative to a corner reflector for C-band InSAR.
