SAR interferometry (InSAR) is a technique to generate 3-Dimentional spatial information using complex data pairs observed by antennas at different locations. In case of the Two-pass differential SAR inteferometry (DInSAR), the topographic phase signature can be separated from the contribution of surface deformation in the interferometric phase. In this study, InSAR and DInSAR were implemented with ERS- l/2 tandem pair to produce DEM. The accuracy of the Resulting DEMs was analyzed.

It is well known that alluvial sediment located in coastal region has been easily affected by geohazard like ground subsidence, marine or meteorological disasters which threaten invaluable lives and properties. The subsidence is a sinking of the ground due to underground material movement that mostly related to soil compaction by water extraction. Thus, continuous monitoring is essential to protect possible damage from the ground subsidence in the coastal region. Radar interferometric application has been widely used to estimate surface displacement from phase information of synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Thanks to advanced SAR technique like the Small BAseline Subset (SBAS), a time-series of surface displacement could be successfully calculated with a large amount of SAR observations (>20). Because the ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 L-band observations maintain higher coherence compared with other shorter wavelength like X- or C-band, it has been regarded as one of the best resources for Earth science. However, the number of ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 observations might be not enough for the SBAS application due to its global monitoring observation scenario. Unfortunately, the number of the ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 Stripmap images in area of our interest, Busan which located in the Southeastern Korea, is only 11 which is insufficient to apply the SBAS time-series analysis. Although it is common that the radar interferometry utilizes multiple SAR images collected from same acquisition mode, it has been reported that the ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 Stripmap-ScanSAR interferometric application could be possible under specific acquisition mode. In case that we can apply the Stripmap-ScanSAR interferometry with the other 18 ScanSAR observations over Busan, an enhanced time-series surface displacement with better temporal resolution could be estimated. In this study, we evaluated feasibility of the ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 Stripmap-ScanSAR interferometric application using Gamma software considering differences of chirp bandwidth and pulse repetition frequency (PRF) between two acquisition modes. In addition, we analyzed the interferograms with respect to spectral shift of radar carrier frequency and common band filtering. Even though it shows similar level of coherence regardless of spectral shift in the radar carrier frequency, we found periodic spectral noises in azimuth direction and significant degradation of coherence in azimuth direction after common band filtering. Therefore, the characteristics of spectral bandwidth in the range and azimuth direction should be considered cautiously for the ALOS-2 PALSAR-2 Stripmap-ScanSAR interferometry.

Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) is affected by various noise source such as atmospheric artifact, orbital error, processing noise etc.. Especially, one of the dominant noise source for long-wave SAR system, such as ALOS PALSAR (L-band SAR satellite) is the ionosphere effect because phase delays on radar pulse through the ionosphere are proportional to the radar wavelength. To avoid misinterpret of phase signal in the interferogram, it is necessary to detect and correct ionospheric errors. Recently, a MAI (Multipler Aperture SAR Interferometry) based ionospheric correction method has been proposed and considered one of the effective method to reduce phase errors by ionospheric effect. In this paper, we introduce the MAI-based method for ionospheric correction. Moreover we propose an efficient method that apply the method over non-coherent area using directional filter. Finally, we apply the proposed method to the ALOS PALSAR pairs, which include the west sea coast region in Korea. A polynomial fitting method, which is frequently adopted in InSAR processing, has been applied for the mitigation of phase distortion by the orbital error. However, the interferogram still has low frequency of Sin pattern along the azimuth direction. In contrast, after we applied the proposed method for ionospheric correction, the low frequency pattern is mitigated and the profile results has stable phase variation values within ${\pm}1rad$. Our results show that this method provides a promising way to correct orbital and ionospheric artifact and would be important technique to improve the accuracy and the availability for L-band or P-band systems.

본 논문에서는 불완전 동기(Imperfect Synchronization)로 인한 칩 동기 에러(timing errors)와 위상 에러(phase errors)를 고려 하여 비동기(Asynchronous) DS-CDMA 시스템의 성능을 이론적으로 분석하였다. 성능 개선 기법으로는 다단 간섭제거기 (Multistage PIC)와 부분 다단 간섭제거기(Partial Multistage PIC)를 채용하였고 칩 동기 에러와 위상 에러가 두 간섭제거기의 간섭제거능력에 미치는 영향의 정도를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 성능분석 결과로부터 칩 동기 에러와 위상 에러로 인한 1단(no cancellation)에서의 성능 열화가 각 단의 상관기 출력(decision statistic)에 영향을 줌으로써 다단 간섭제거기와 부분 다단 간섭제거기의 성능 개선폭을 감소시켰다. 그렇지만, 불완전 동기에도 불구하고 단(stage) 수가 증가할수록 두 간섭제거기 모두 강한 간섭제거능력을 보였다. 실제 시스템에서는 성능 개선과 구현상의 복잡도를 동시에 고려해야하므로 다단 간섭제거기 보다 구조가 간단하고 계산량이 적은 부분 다단 간섭제거기의 활용도가 높아질 것이 예상된다.

광파이버 패브리페로 간섭계에서 동작영역을 넓히기 위해 공진기의 길이를 1mm보다 짧은 초소형 간섭계를 구성하고자 하였을 경우, 광출력의 위상변화에 대한 감도가 낮아 전달함수로부터 변화된 위상을 복원하는 과정이 까다로워진다. 이러한 신호복원 과정에는 대부분 신호잡음비를 높여주는 신호처리 수단을 포함하게 되므로 간섭계가 겪은 위상변화를 보다 높은 신뢰성으로 검출하고자 할 때 어떠한 신호처리 방법이 적절한가하는 선택의 문제가 발생된다. 이는 각각의 신호처리방법이 장단점을 가지므로 응용목적에 따른 trade-off가 필요하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 참조 간섭계와 센서 간섭계 간의 correlation으로부터 위상을 검출하여 시스템의 잡음을 common mode 잡음으로 처리할 수 있었으며, 디지털 신호처리기법을 응용하여 짧은 공진기로 구성된 센서 간섭계의 위상변화분을 보다 안정적으로 검출하게 되었다.

A new demodulation technique which can be used for the fiber optic acoustic sensor system using Sagnac interferometer is described. The theoretical limitation in dynamic range of the quadrature demodulation technique can be removed by the proposed BPSK(Binary Phase Shift Keying) demodulation technique. Full demodulation of input acoustic signal is possible with just simple electronics by eliminating the necessity of the high frequency phase modulation. This technique is suitable for digital signal processing of fiber optic sensor systems and can be applicable for other interferometers.

지금까지 대부분의 인공위성 또는 항공기 SAR 시스템은 하나의 위상 배열 안테나를 이용하며, 단 영상을 생성하고 판독하는데 주로 사용되었지만, 차세대 SAR 시스템은 다중 편파 관측이 가능하거나 이중 채널 또는 위상 배열 안테나의 분리 모드(split-antenna mode)를 통해 간섭기법의 적용이 가능한 시스템으로 발전이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 이 논문은 차세대 SAR 인공위성의 새로운 분석 기법 연구와 활용 증진을 위해, 유사한 기능을 보일 수 있는 이중 채널 항공기 SAR 시스템을 구축하고, 이로부터 단일 패스 간섭기법(single-pass interferometry)을 연구한 논문이다. 공간적으로 서로 다른 위치에 있는 두 개의 SAR 채널에서 동시에 수신된 레이다 신호를 간섭적으로 처리하여, 지형의 고도 정보를 추출하거나 이동하는 물체의 속도를 탐지할 수 있도록 알고리즘을 구현하였고, 새로운 활용 분야를 모색하고자 하였다.

A signal processing technique for interferometric fiber-optic sensors is proposed. It does not require a any special optic components such as phase modulator, $3times3$ couplers,to obtain the full sensitivity of the interferometer. Instead, it requires a reference interferometer for phase referencing and a reference mirror for intensity referencing, but intensity referencing can be done without using the r reference mirror. The new technique utilizes the frequency chirping of the laser diode to process t the sensor signal with both wide dynamic range and high sensitivity of the interferometer. It was a applied to an internal-mirrored FP interferometric temperature sensor to obtain the system noise of $4\times10^{-3\circ}C$ from I cm FP Interferometor sensor device.

Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) were generated by ERS-l/2 and JERS-1 SAR interferometry in Daejon area, Korea. The quality of the DEM's was evaluated by the Ground Control Points (GCPs) in city area where GCPs were determined by GPS surveys, while in the mountain area with no GCPs, a 1:25,000 digital map was used. In order to minimize errors due to the inaccurate satellite orbit information and the phase unwrapping procedure, a Differential InSAR (DInSAR) was implemented in addition to the traditional InSAR analysis for DEM generation. In addition, DEMs from GTOPO30, SRTM-3, and 1:25,000 digital map were used for assessment the resolution of the DEM generated from DInSAR. 5-6 meters of elevation errors were found in the flat area regardless of the usage and the resolution of DEM, as a result of InSAR analyzing with a pair of ERS tandem and 6 pairs of JERS-1 interferograms. In the mountain area, however, DInSAR with DEMs from SRTM-3 and the digital map was found to be very effective to reduce errors due to phase unwrapping procedure. Also errors due to low signal-to-noise ratio of radar images and atmospheric effect were attenuated in the DEMs generated from the stacking of 6 pairs of JERS-1. SAR interferometry with multiple pairs of SAR interferogram with low resolution DEM can be effectively used to enhance the resolution of DEM in terms of data processing time and cost.
