Abstract

Abstract: The spaceborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technique has become a useful tool to obtain the surface elevation or deformation. The multi-baseline InSAR technique is capable of fusing data from multiple channels for interferometric processing and improving the accuracy of elevation estimation of the observed scenes. In this paper, we study the joint distribution to statistically characterize the interferometric phases of multi-baseline InSAR. The baseline parameters are sought based on the second-order moment of the interferometric phase joint probability density function (PDF). The study done in this thesis provides a basis for the design of parameters for multi-baseline interferometric systems.
