Introduction
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a coherent microwave imaging instrument capable to provide for data all weather, day and night, guaranteeing global coverage surveillance. SAR interferometry is based on processing two or more complex valued SAR images obtained from different SAR positions. The InSAR is a system intends for geophysical measurements and evaluation of topography, slopes, surface deformations (volcanoes, earthquakes, ice fields), glacier studies, vegetation growth, etc. The estimation of topographic height with essential accuracy is performed by the interferometric distance difference measured based on two SAR echoes from the same surface. Changes in topography (displacement), precise to a fraction of a radar wavelength, can be evaluated by differential interferogram generated by three or more successive complex SAR images. Demonstration of time series InSAR processing in Beijing using a small stack of Gaofen-3 differential interferograms is discussed in .
A general overview of the InSAR principles and the recent development of the advanced multi-track InSAR combination methodologies, which allow to discriminate the 3-D components of deformation processes and to follow their temporal evolution, are presented in. The combination of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and InSAR for future Australian datums is discussed in .
A high-precision DEM extraction method based on InSAR data and quality assessment of InSAR DEMs is suggested in. InSAR digital surface model (DSM) and time series analysis based on C-band Sentinel-1 TOPS data are presented in. DEM registration, alignment, and evaluation for SAR interferometry, deformation monitoring by ground-based SAR interferometry (GB-InSAR), a field test in dam, and an improved approach to estimate large-gradient deformation using high-resolution TerraSAR-X data are discussed in. InSAR Time-Series Estimation of the Ionospheric Phase Delay: An Extension of the Split Range-Spectrum Techniqueand InSAR data coherence estimation using 2D fast Fourier transform are performed in .
In comparison with the results described in the aforementioned publications, the main goal of the present work is to suggest an analytical model of multi-pass InSAR geometry and derive analytical expressions of current distances between SAR’s positions and individual pixels on the surface and to describe principal InSAR parameters: topographic height and topographic displacement from the position of InSAR modelling. The focus is on the two modelling approaches: first, by the definition of real scenario, geometry, and kinematics and SAR signal models and corresponding complex image reconstruction and interferogram and differential interferogram generation and, second, the process of pseudo SAR measurements and interferogram generation that is analytically described. Results of numerical experiments with real data are provided.
The rest of the lecture is organized as follows. In Section 2, 3D InSAR geometry and kinematics are analytically described. In Section 3 and Section 4, analytical expressions of InSAR relief measurements and relief displacement measurements are presented. In Section 5 and Section 6, SAR waveform, deterministic signal model, and image reconstruction algorithm are described. In Section 7, numerical results of InSAR modelling based on the geometry, kinematics, and signal models are provided. In Section 8 and Section 9, a pseudo InSAR modelling of geophysical measurements and numerical results are presented, respectively. Conclusion remarks are made in Section 10.
