Abstract

This paper analyzes the relationship between the noise level in interferometric phases at permanent scatters (PS) and the accuracy in deformation measurements with the PS-based differential SAR interferometry (PS-DInSAR). The study is carried out based on interferograms that are simulated with parameters of 26 ERS-1/2 SAR scenes over Shanghai. The results show that in the cases of high phase signal to noise ratio (noise level lower than ±0.5 rad), the accuracy of the deformation rates estimated with PS-DInSAR can be up to about ±2 mm/a, and the accuracy of the estimated elevations is about ±1 m. The accuracies decrease with the increase of the noise level of the phase data. When the noise level is ±0.8 rad, the accuracy of deformation measurements decreases to ±1 cm/a and that of elevation measurements decreases to ±3 m.
