摘要
In 2023, the Chinese company PIESAT launched the multi-static X-band SAR constellation Hongtu-1 (HT1). HT1 consists of the active monostatic SAR sensor HT1-A and the three additional passive SAR receivers HT1-B, HT1-C and HT1-D. The passive sensors are arranged as a cartwheel in a circle around the active sensor. For our SAR interferometric investigation, we were able to use a multi-static HT1 recording. After a brief introduction of HT1, we describe the processing performed. Based on the phases of the six single-pass interferometric pairs, we calculated height differences relative to the Copernicus DEM. Larger deviations were observed mainly for mining areas and for forest areas. Thanks to the simultaneous acquisition of the interferometric pairs, the high spatial resolution and the good signal quality, the necessary processing was relatively easy to perform. Besides the interferometric phase, we also investigated possible applications of multi-static coherence. Forest can be recognized by its reduced single-pass coherence values. Based on our results, we expect that the multi-static HT1 coherence and its dependence on the interferometric baseline can be used to estimate parameters such as forest biomass.
