Ground-based Radar baseline correction based on the DEM model

In recent years, ground-based radar has been widely used as an emerging deformation monitoring technology. Compared with traditional satellite-based radar, ground-based radar has many unique advantages, such as high temporal resolution and independence from atmospheric and ionospheric influences. Scholars usually assume that the radar's position is fixed every day when making continuous observations of the target area for multiple days. However, when experimental conditions do not allow us to temporarily fix the radar on the ground, a baseline error arises between two days of measurements, which causes the attitude of the radar to change. Based on the upper and lower dual antenna design adopted by the GAMMA portable Radar, this paper proposes a DEM model generated using the upper and lower antennas to back-calculate the baseline difference between the two measurements and eliminate the baseline difference by the model to ensure the accuracy of the experimental results. The results of the measured data processing demonstrate the effectiveness of the method mentioned in this paper in eliminating baseline errors
