Polarimetric and interferometric applications in a bistatic hybrid SAR mode using Terrasar-X

A lot of bistatic experiments have recently been performed by different researchers to show the differences between monostatic and bistatic SAR. The acquired data was needed to verify the developed bistatic processing algorithms. To extend the conventional bistatic SAR experiments, we investigated whether bistatic systems can be used in the field of bistatic interferometry and polarimetry, also shown by [3]. For this purpose we have used our stationary receiver system together with TerraSAR-X as transmitting satellite. This paper describes the experiments and shows some results we obtained using single and repeat pass SAR configurations.
