Abstract

A dual-frequency InSAR imaging technique is proposed to estimate the position and motion parameters of a moving target, including velocity and cross-track acceleration. By applying a dual-frequency technique, phase ambiguity is effectively removed to obtain accurate estimation of motion parameters.
