Abstract

Geosynchronous SAR (GEO SAR) has better coverage and revisiting performance than the low Earth orbit SAR. Thus GEO SAR can implement the repeat-pass interferometry as its revisit time of 1 day and the orbit drift (forming baseline) induced by perturbation. In comparison, the twin GEO SAR formation configuration in which the slave satellite repeats the master satellite' track can realize shorter revisit time and adjustable baseline by tuning the orbit elements. In this paper, a validation experiment based on the Chinese Beidou IGSO navigation satellites is demonstrated to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of this concept. The validation experiment consists of data acquisition of the Beidou IGSO satellites signals, equivalent pre-processing, image processing and interferometry processing. In the end, we obtain the high-precision experimental results of deformation inversion, validating the feasibility of twin GEO SAR interferometry/differential interferometry.
