AIRBORNE INTERFEROMETRIC SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR

Abstract

This article gives a brief description of the interferometric SAR mode. It gives a description and the main characteristics of some airborne interferometric SAR systems. It`s also shows possible ways of development of airborne interferometic radars in the near future. Compared to the interferometric systems of the Earth remote sensing space-based, airborne ISAR have higher precision of measurement of height and detail RI. At the same time, ISAR airborne have several disadvantages such as the need of accurate correction of the flight path of the aircraft, which entails the need to install onboard precision inertial systems and GPS receivers, and the application of complex algorithms for trajectory control; less coverage to the areas in the mapping, time limited and local character of the use, which leads to higher dimensions.
