[PP2-3-12] Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) tomography

SAR tomography uses the principle of the azimuth synthetic aperture in the elevation direction. It exploits multiple passes of the radar sensor at different orbit positions (orbits heights) in order to retrieve 3D information about volumetric targets, where the 2D SAR signals often overlaps due to the typical side-looking geometry.
