Abstract
Landslides are a geological phenomenon that constantly affect and cause damage to urban zones along the Peruvian territory. Currently, no user safe monitoring technique is used in Peru to study disasters of this nature. For this purpose, a new Ground Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-SAR) system is under development at the Jicamarca Radio Observatory. In this work, we present the hardware description of the system and the data processing algorithms used for image formation. The resulting images are presented and will be used for future work in landslide monitoring.
