Abstract
This chapter reviews the basic concepts of radar and interferometry. It consists of a short history of radar, SAR, and interferometry, followed by an instrument description, listing the main components of a typical SAR instrument. A section on image formation describes the main processing issues in the formation of a complex SAR image based on raw satellite radar data. A major part of this chapter focuses on the interferometric processing cookbook, discussing the main issues and problems. Differential interferometry is covered in the last section of this chapter.
