Key Points

To establish the theoretical framework, statistical phase estimators, and system design optimization methods required for high-resolution global topographic radar mapping.
Derived radar signal statistics, an optimal interferometric phase estimator, and mathematical expressions for the height-error budget.
Optimized operational radar parameters specifically for a one-year global topographic mapping mission subjected to technological constraints.
Performed Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate system performance and height accuracy across realistic terrain models.
Mathematical expressions accurately predicted error contributions and established optimal baseline and radar parameters for topography estimation.
Monte Carlo simulations demonstrated that the proposed configuration meets the stringent height accuracy and spatial resolution criteria needed for global geophysical applications.
