Abstract
A subsurface interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) imaging technique for the detection and localization of underground targets in the presence of a rough ground surface comprises a two-step procedure. First, surface clutter suppression is performed with a polarimetric difference operation that does not alter the propagation phase of the target scattered signal; then a subsurface interferometric algorithm is applied to infer target depth by correlating the clutter-suppressed images obtained along two observation paths.
