Abstract

The german TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites are able to acquire images operationally in ScanSAR mode and experimentally in TOPS mode, the future Sentinel-1 Interferometric Widesath and Extra Wideswath modes. This paper gives an overview of the interferometric processing steps of burst-mode acquisitions and present the current status in preparation for future algorithm development towards PSI. Interferometric results of TerraSAR-X repeat-pass images in ScanSAR and TOPS mode are shown.
