Abstract
Ground-Based Differential Interferometric Radars (GB-DInRads) have been widely applied to measure deformations. In this paper, the main types of GB-DInRads are summarized, including ground-based real aperture radar and Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-SAR). The working principles and important parameters of some representative systems are introduced. Then, taking the GB-SAR as an example, the current key processing techniques are introduced, which mainly include differential interferometry, permanent scatterer selection, and atmospheric phase compensation. Lastly, three examples are presented to show the applications of GB-DInRad in deformation measurements. A Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar was utilized to monitor an open-pit mine for about 11 days, and two regions with obvious deformation were found. In addition, a linear-scanning GB-SAR was utilized to monitor a mountain slope after severe landslide. The analysis result proved that rainfall could accelerate deformation. The feasibility of vibration measurement with the MIMO radar was also discussed in this paper.
