Abstract :
High resolution millimeter wave synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry is presented using the MEMPHIS multi-baseline InSAR system. A complete processing chain is used to generate digital elevation models starting from the radar raw data. A deeper focus is laid on the phase unwrapping step, which is achieved using the multi-baseline properties of the system. In November 2006, an experiment was realized including two test sites in Switzerland; the actual results are presented and discussed.
