As previously stated, InSAR requires coherence between SAR images. This is the same problem as another SAR exploitation technique, namely Coherent Change Detection (CCD), which after all is just the coherence map. Relating coherence to collection requirements can be found in several reports and papers, e.g. search for "Collecting and Processing Data for High Quality CCD Images.
Well, ERS and Envisat had worked in TanDEM constellation (only 23 minutes apart if I remember correctly), and many works were presented in Crossed InSAR studies.
Differences in frequency carriers were compensated by larger Bperp between both satellites.
Please check as for example D. Perissin's paper above.
