Abstract

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and interferometric SAR (InSAR) measurements are disturbed by the propagation velocity changes of microwaves that are caused by the high density of free electrons in the ionosphere. As the ionosphere is an obstacle to increasing the precision of SAR systems needed to remotely measure the Earth's dynamic processes, this thesis aims to develop methods to estimate and compensate ionospheric propagation delays in SAR signals.
