Abstract :
A combination of space time adaptive processing (STAP) and bistatic SAR seems to bring a promising technique of moving target detection and imaging. Moving target detection based on STAP is the most advanced and reliable detection method and mainly used in multichannel monostatic SAR whereas bistatic SAR has shown unique advantages such as the flexibility in design and the ability to observe a target with different angles. The paper investigates the possibility to employ STAP for detection and imaging of moving targets in bistatic SAR.
