3 Referenzen Das verwendete Präsentationsmaterial kommt vorwiegend aus dem DLR- Institut für Hochfrequenztechnik und Radarsysteme, insbesondere von meinen Kollegen Alberto Moreira, Gerhard Krieger und Manfred Zink, die ich hier stellvertretend für viele andere explizit nenne. Zink ist Leiter der Abteilung Satelliten-SAR-Systeme und gleichzeitig Projektleiter des Tandem-Bodensegments. Weitere Informationsquellen und Originalliteratur Literatur findet man im Internet z.b: EO-Portal:TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement) mit weiteren Literaturangaben ElevationMeasurement.html DLR Blog Tandem-X: / Webseite des Instituts für Hochfrequenztechnik und Radarsysteme: 3
