Description
Summary:A mission requirements-based configuration method of interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (InSAR) formation to design dual-satellite formation by mean orbital elements is derived. The configuration and initial orbital elements of two coordinated running satellites InSAR formation are designed when system parameters, such as the resolution of slant distance, latitude domain of ground coverage area, and the side-looking angle of the synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) beam center, are given.
