Abstract
An Interferometric Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (In-GB-SAR) system has been developed. The system employs similar principles as the airborne or space borne SAR. In the developed In-GB-SAR system, the technique of
differential interferometry is used to detect small changes on the target at different times and under different conditions.
Experimental results demonstrate that the developed system is very efficient and can detect small changes of the scale of 2cm at the range distance of 5m. Moreover, within the framework of the study, a new migration algorithm for signal
processing was developed. The GB-SAR has a wide range of applications to environmental monitoring, resources management as well as monitoring of different natural phenomena.
