The Multi-Chromatic Analysis uses interferometric pairs of SAR images processed at range sub-bands and explores the phase trend of each pixel as a function of the different central carrier frequencies to perform absolute topographic measurements. The previous work on the subject has started demonstrating the practical feasibility of the technique by using a set of SAR data collected by the airborne AES-1 radar-interferometer and by focusing the sensor raw data. The present work verifies the reliability of MCA procedures starting from SLC images, tests the robustness of MCA methods with respect to the total processed bandwidth and, provides first indications on the use of TerraSAR-X satellite data.

Abstract
The Multi-Chromatic Analysis uses interferometric pairs of SAR images processed at range sub-bands and explores the phase trend of each pixel as a function of the different central carrier frequencies to perform absolute topographic measurements. The previous work on the subject has started demonstrating the practical feasibility of the technique by using a set of SAR data collected by the airborne AES-1 radar-interferometer and by focusing the sensor raw data. The present work verifies the reliability of MCA procedures starting from SLC images, tests the robustness of MCA methods with respect to the total processed bandwidth and, provides first indications on the use of TerraSAR-X satellite data.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
