Abstract

This paper is devoted to the method for a three-dimensional radar image restoration of terrain elevations using airborne two antenna interferometric frequency-domain radar. A method’s main feature is the parallel obtaining of two-dimensional frequencydomain spectra both of radar terrain echo and its derivative for next synthesizing. The architecture of such interferometric radar is proposed, and math equations for one’s performance calculation are presented. The numerical algorithm for the terrain elevations calculation over an arbitrary horizontal plane is developed.
