Inhalt:
The German TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X satellites are able to acquire images operationally in ScanSAR and WideScanSAR modes and experimentally in TOPS mode. This paper gives an overview of the interferometric processing steps of burst-mode acquisitions, emphasizing the importance of the co-registration stage. A co-registration approach based on incoherent cross-correlation is presented. Interferometric results, including differential interferogram, of TerraSAR-X repeat-pass images are provided.
