Abstract :
The interest in bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has increased rapidly in recent years. This is founded in the specific advantages of bistatic SAR configurations. The calculation of the resulting bistatic resolution is quite different from the monostatic case. A general vectorial calculation in three-dimensional space is presented. Furthermore, first experimental results from a bistatic flight campaign are shown.
