Bistatic SAR tomography: Processing and experimental results

Abstract

This paper presents across-track tomography applied to a bistatic geometry with fixed receivers. This kind of geometry can overcome some of the classical monostatic tomography limitations such as temporal decorrelation and irregular baseline distribution. The Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSLab) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) has implemented a SAR Bistatic Receiver for INterferometric Applications, SABRINA, with 4-channels. SABRINA has been used to carry out a bistatic tomographic experiment. The acquired data has been processed with different tomographic methods and their performances compared.
