SELECTION OF THE OPTIMAL IMAGE FORMATION ALGORITHM FOR A GROUND-BASED SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR

摘要

A Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-SAR) interferometer system operating at 17 GHz is used to monitor the movement of an active landslide. The selection of the optimal image formation technique for such an imaging system is addressed. The algorithms considered in this study are those previously developed for spaceborne and airborne SAR. A near-field algorithm that forms the image in the time domain is selected as the optimal solution. Furthermore, example results obtained in a measurement campaign in Schawz (Austria) are shown.
