Which steps did you undertake?
SAR data require pre-processing according to what information you want to retrieve. Here is a coarse collection of the most important steps:
for SLC data I would suggest
TOPS Split
Apply Orbit file
Thermal Noise Removal
Calibration to Beta0*
TOPSAR Deburst
Radiometric terrain flattening
(Speckle filtering)
Range Doppler Terrain Correction
If you don’t need the phase information you can also download it as a GRD product and only apply the following:
Apply Orbit file
Thermal noise removal
Calibration to Beta0
Radiometric terrain flattening
(Speckle filtering)
Range Doppler Terrain Correction
or (if you don’t have much topography)…
