Abstract :
This paper analyzes the multi-path component effect in the airborne SAR context, proposing a model as an approach to correct the generated disturbances in the processed phase and amplitude images. The method assumes along-track interferometric or polarimetric data to estimate the unknowns of the model. Airborne data acquired by the F-SAR system of DLR are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed approach.
