Abstract

In this contribution, a car-borne SAR and InSAR experiment is described. The slope of a valley was imaged by means of a single-pass InSAR system mounted on a car driving on roads along the bottom of the valley. The GAMMA portable radar interferometer GPRI-II hardware with a modified antenna configuration was used for data acquisition. The experimental setup (1), SAR imagery focused along a slightly curved sensor trajectory (2), and first interferometric results (3) obtained using this configuration are presented.
