Abstract :
In this paper, the baseline´s effect on spaceborne SAR (synthetic aperture radar) interferometry is discussed. The existence of critical baselines and optimal spatial baselines are analyzed and the formulas to determine them are presented. The simulation method from baseline design to phase unwrapping is presented and the results from it are given to illustrate the baseline´s effect on interferometric SAR
