Generation of Persistent Scatterers in Non-Urban Areas: The Role of Microwave Scattering Parameters

In this work, we study the capability of the ground surface to generate Persistent Scatterers (PS) based on the lithology, slope and aspect angles. These properties affect the scattering behavior of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signal, the interferometric phase stability and, as a consequence,...
