Title
Grecosar, a SAR simulator for complex targets: Application to urban environments.
Abstract
This paper presents a preliminary study about the scattering properties of urban-like scatters based on simulated SAR images. A simple target performed by a box of gypsum located over a perfectly conducting flat plane is analyzed for different views in both ISAR and SAR fully-polarimetric modes. The results are analyzed with the Pauli decomposition theorem and they show that the scattering response of such a target is dominated by a strong scatter, which polarimetric behavior depends on the relative orientation of the target with respect to the radar. Tests with interferometry shows that the height of the box can be reasonably retrieved despite of model simplicity.
