Abstract :
In this paper a baseline (height) self-calibration concept is introduced and applied to simulations of two different single-pass interferometric SAR systems with a single-swath and a dual-swath configuration. The results will show that the general performance is very promising and that, by simultaneously acquiring two separated swathes, accuracies in the sub-decimetric range can be reached.
