Space-time processing in multi-static forward scatter radar with moving airborne transmitters

The paper deals with the specific features of space-time processing in multi-static forward scatter radar with airborne transmit positions. The advantages of such a system for the task of low-observable aerial targets are discovered. The algorithm of space-time signal processing which provides forming of radiation pattern of thinned transmitting antenna array is considered. The influence of random wind gusts upon the stability of radiation pattern is investigated. The results of mathematical modelling are presented.
