Abstract :
Coherence is the key factor in Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry. We study the baseline decorrelation due to antenna spatial diversity in order to take into account the effect of the surface statistic roughness in a more general case. As a model of surface roughness we use the fractional Brownian motion
