Abstract :
The authors propose an interferometric radar system for the remote monitoring of structural deformations in buildings. A continuous wave step frequency (CW-SF) radar is used to synthesise radar cross-section (RCS) holographic images. The monitoring radar has been experimentally validated during a structural static test of a concrete pedestrian bridge
