摘要
The German TanDEM-X mission flies the two satellites TerraSAR-X (TSX) and TanDEM-X (TDX) in a close orbit formation establishing a bistatic interferometer in space. A major challenge in bistatic SAR data processing is the synchronization of the satellites' oscillators. The paper at hand summarizes the synchronization concept, provides in-orbit verification and performance figures, describes the compensation approach within the SAR processing workflow and finally quantifies the synchronization performance in terms of achieved DEM accuracy.
