Abstract :
A novel across-track interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) raw signal simulator is presented. It is based on an electromagnetic backscattering model of the scene and an accurate description of the SAR system impulse response function. A set of meaningful examples are also presented. They show that the proposed simulator is structurally consistent and correctly simulates the decorrelation effect, both in the mean and in the distribution sense
