  • Abstract
    This paper discusses cross-track SAR interferometry under crossing orbits. The underlaying theory is briefly outlined, showing that a crossing angle between the ground tracks needs to be compensated by applying different squint angles in order to have overlap in the the ground-spectral domain. Two sets of crossing orbits InSAR experiments are described. The results of the first experiment, are discussed.
