Distributed Small Satellites Synthetic Aperture Radar Multibaseline Interfrerometry

The technique of multibaseline interferometry for distributed small satellite synthetic aperture radar( DSS - SAR) is studied. According to available papers,it is concluded that there are two approaches to achieve multibaseline interferometry. The two methods are the use of multi - pair of SAR images to improve the quality of interferometric SAR image and the use of iterative method to improve the accuracy of elevation estimation These two approaches and their application to DSS - SAR are discussed respectively. It is Pointed out that the quality of the multi - basline interferometric SAR image in DSS - SAR is improved by decreasing interferometric phase error, increasing phase wrapping period and critical look number of mutilook average. The flowchart of the ieerative hight estimation for a multi-baselime interferomatic SAR is presented
