Abstract :
An efficient SAR raw signal simulator of across-track interferometric pairs has been recently presented. Its use for simulation of raw signal pairs relevant to real scenarios is discussed. A meaningful example is presented. The interferograms obtained from simulated data are compared with the ones obtained from real data. The overall result of this comparison is very good. Differences encountered in a particular zone are explained in terms of unmodelled temporal changes over a vegetated area
