GRLT detection of moving target by along track SAR interferometric systems

In this paper we consider the problem of the detection of a ground moving target using Synthetic Aperture Radar Along Track Interferometric (AT- InSAR) systems. We propose a method exploiting a Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test (GRLT) and based on a Gaussian model for the target response. We also derive the log-likelihood ratio probability density function in closed form, both in the hypothesis of presence of target and absence of target. Numerical results based on simulated data are presented.
