Abstract
TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) is an innovative spaceborne X-band earth observation mission that will be launched in October 2009. This paper gives an overview of the TanDEM-X mission concept, summarizes the basic products and illustrates the achievable performance. In more detail the effect of quantization on the interferometric performance is discussed. Finally new imaging techniques are outlined.
