Abstract :
Tomographic SAR (TomoSAR) is an imaging technique to reconstruct the radar reflectivity in the elevation direction. In this paper, a simulation experiment of TomoSAR with ALOS PALSAR assuming suburban environment is presented. The first simulation shows the requirement of SAR data samples along the elevation aperture. The second simulation suggests that a reflectivity magnitude and phase may not be correctly reconstructed.
