Spaceborne multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) tomography (SMS-TomoSAR) systems take full advantage of the flexible configuration of multistatic SAR in the space, time, phase, and frequency dimensions, and simultaneously achieve high-precision height resolution and low-deformation measurement of three-dimensional ground scenes. SMS-TomoSAR currently poses a series of key issues to solve, such as baseline optimization, spatial transmission error estimation and compensation, and the choice of imaging algorithm, which directly affects the performance of height-dimensional imaging and surface deformation measurement. This paper explores the impact of baseline distribution on height-dimensional imaging performance for the baseline optimization issue, and proposes a feasible baseline optimization method. Firstly, the multi-base multi-pass baselines of an SMS-TomoSAR system are considered equivalent to a group of multi-pass baselines from monostatic SAR. Secondly, we establish the equivalent baselines as a symmetric-geometric model to characterize the non-uniform characteristic of baseline distribution. Through experimental simulation and model analysis, an approximately uniform baseline distribution is shown to have better SMS-TomoSAR imaging performance in the height direction. Further, a baseline design method under uniform-perturbation sampling with Gaussian distribution error is proposed. Finally, the imaging performance of different levels of perturbation is compared, and the maximum baseline perturbation allowed by the system is given.

Abstract We have been conducting study of postseismic deformation following the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake using ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 acquired till 2018. We apply ionospheric correction to interferograms of ALOS-2/PALSAR-2. L-band SAR gives us high coherence enough to reveal surface deformation even in vegetated or mountainous area for pairs of images acquired more than 2 years. Ionospheric disturbances are seen both in the ascending and descending images, but spatial characteristics may be different each other. Postseismic deoformation following the Kumamoto earthquake is much larger than those observed after recent inland earthquakes in Japan with GPS, which exceeds 10 cm during two years at some spots in and around Kumamoto city and Aso caldera. There are sharp changes across several coseismic surface ruptures such as Futagawa, Hinagu and Idenokuchi faults. Time constant of postseismic decay ranges from 1 month to 600 days at selected points, but that LOS changes during the first epochs or two are dominant. This result suggests multiple source of postseismic deformation. LOS changes around the Hinagu and Suinzenji faults that appeared during the mainshock in Kumamoto City may be explained with right lateral afterslip on these faults. LOS changes around the Hinagu and Idenokuchi faults cannot be explained with right-lateral afterslip, which requires another unknown source. Deformation in northern part of Aso caldera may be the result of right lateral afterslip on unknown fault.
