The coseismic deformation produced by 1998 earthquake (Ms = 6.2) in Zhangbei-Shangyi of northern China is measured by the differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry (D-InSAR) technique using the European Remote Sensing satellite (ERS) SAR data. Interferograms are constructed from the ERS-1/2 SAR data by the three-pass method. The line-of-sight displacement map indicates that the deformation center of the earthquake is located at E114°20′,N40°57′,with the maximum uplift of 25 cm. The extent of the displacement is around 300 km2. The focal mechanism and earthquake-induced structures are analyzed based on the spatial distribution of the deformation. The results give new insights into the seismic mechanism study.
