Abstract

Ground-based SAR systems play a key role in active microwave remote sensing in many areas of environmental risk monitoring. Real time capability and flexibility make ground-based SAR suitable for monitoring in emergency cases, such as sudden landslide or volcanic activities. In this work we propose a 3D SAR imaging, for a ground-based stepped frequency radar, based on a tomographic technique. This method allows separate scattering mechanisms associated at target interfering in the same resolution cell.
