Bistatic SAR imaging: A novel approach using a stationary receiver

This paper introduces a novel approach to bistatic radar imaging. The proposed technique utilizes a synthetic transmit aperture and a stationary receiver to create a high resolution, 2-D bistatic SAR image of a given target scene. The technique can also be used to generate 3-D SAR images simply by utilizing a second, coherent receiver; hence operating in an interferometric bistatic SAR mode. The new technique is validated through both indoor and outdoor experiments.
