Bistatic Quasi-passive noise SAR experiment

The paper describes the concept and the preliminary results of bistatic noise SAR experiments carried out at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT). The aim of the experiment was to test the ability of simple system build of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components to produce a focused SAR image. The demonstration system is a ground-based one. Instead of using airborne or space-borne antenna system a simple rails wagon with electronically control motor was used to generate the antenna motion. The paper presents the description of the hardware, details of the measurement campaign and the results of signal processing.
