Abstract

This paper reports a method to analyze surface clutter discrimination for radar sounding interferometry. Nadir-looking low-frequency radar sounders cannot easily resolve off-nadir surface echoes from subsurface nadir echoes. Sounders equipped with multichannel receivers can use interferometric phase to discriminate whether a feature is at nadir or not. We developed a method to evaluate the performance of this application of interferometry and used it to analyze the selected Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: Ocean to Near-surface (REASON) instrument on NASA's Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter's moon Europa.
