In this paper we address the potential of Pol-InSAR forest parameter estimation projected onto the future P-band BIOMASS satellite system configuration and mission operation scenario. The impact of system parameters (bandwidth, NESZ and range/azimuth ambiguities) is evaluated and a performance analysis with respect to forest parameter estimation is performed and discussed. The performance analysis is supported and validated by using simulation data sets generated from E-SAR (Experimental Synthetic Aperture Radar) repeat-pass Pol- InSAR experimental data acquired in the frame of recent campaigns. Two campaign data sets (BioSAR 2007 / INDREX-II) have been selected and investigated.
