Summary:We present an adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) filtering
approach, which is referred to as the Amplitude and Phase EStimation
(APES) algorithm, for interferometric synthetic aperture radar (SAR)
imaging. We compare the APES algorithm with other FIR filtering
approaches including the Capon and fast Fourier transform (FFT) methods.
We show via both numerical and experimental examples that the adaptive
FIR filtering approaches such as Capon and APES can yield more accurate
spectral estimates with much lower sidelobes and narrower spectral peaks
than the FFT method. We show that although the APES algorithm yields
somewhat wider spectral peaks than the Capon method, the former gives
more accurate overall spectral estimates and SAR images than the latter
and the FFT method
