Multi-channel along track interferometry

In this paper we introduce an algorithm for velocity estimation of a ground moving point target using a multi-channel along-track interferometry (MC-ATI) system. The presented results are relative to a multi frequency system, but the algorithm can be used also for a multi-baseline one. The performance of the system is evaluated by presenting also the probabilities of detection.
