Abstract :
The Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya is developing a ground based bistatic system using ESA´s ENVISAT and ERS-2 as transmitters. The spatial resolution of this configuration is similar to that of their monostatic counterpart, although foreshortening effects have a lesser impact. First single-pass interferometric images corresponding to a local test-site are presented and compared to a synthetic interferogram.
