A GNSS-R InSAR Method for Deformation Monitoring Based on BeiDou Dual-Frequency Signal Fusion

Jul 2026 · Electronics · Vol 15, pp. 2929 · 0 citations

Abstract

Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (GNSS-R InSAR) offers all-weather, all-day observation capabilities and high temporal resolution, enabling elevation deformation monitoring with a single satellite. However, in hazardous regions, such as tailings dam slopes, measuring the deformation of a greater number of target points is essential for a more accurate assessment of geological hazard risks. Since navigation satellite signals are not originally designed for imaging purposes, their inherent narrow bandwidths result in low spatial resolution and limited target recognition capabilities, rendering them inadequate for such scenarios. To address these limitations, this paper investigates a GNSS-R InSAR deformation measurement architecture utilizing dual-frequency BeiDou-3 (BDS-3) signal fusion. Specifically, a coherent spectrum fusion method is introduced to effectively expand the signal bandwidth, thereby significantly enhancing range resolution and target identification capabilities. Building upon this, deformation measurements are conducted to achieve more refined and detailed monitoring.
