In this letter, a ground-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometer was used to generate digital elevation maps (DEMs) of the illuminated area. With respect to other ground-based data processing techniques, here, the effect of the propagation through the atmosphere is considered. An algorithm similar to multipass satellite SAR techniques was developed in accordance with the phase model used in the ground-based interferometry. Many images taken from different viewing angles were collected and combined to form different interferograms at a test site in Austria. Results from this technique have been compared with an existing geographic model of the test area.
