Evaluation and optimisation of configurations of a hybrid bistatic SAR experiment between TerraSAR-X and PAMIR

The development of new technologies and algorithms in the field of bistatic SAR will lead to new instruments of remote sensing in various domains. One of the next important steps will be the realisation of challenging bistatic SAR experiments to prove, evaluate, and develop this new technique. In this context, we will conduct hybrid bistatic SAR experiments using the SAR satellite TerraSAR-X and the airborne SAR sensor PAMIR. This paper presents first: considerations with respect to the optimisation of possible geometries between the spaceborne and the airborne SAR sensor.
