Abstract
Across-track Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry is an emerging te chnique for Earth monitoring capable to generate high-resolution Digit al Elevation Models. The ability to achieve such mission depends on th e correlation of the signals received by the two antennas and used to generate the interferometric fringes. In this paper we formulate the b aseline decorrelation due to antennas spatial diversity to include the effect of surface scattering.
