  • Abstract
    Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) provides opportunities for passive radar applications. This paper reports progress in space-surface bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SS-BiSAR) using Beidou-2 as transmitters of opportunity and a fixed ground-based receiver. Experiment is described and the obtained SAR image is presented and interpreted in detail. Results show that BiSAR using beidou-2 as illuminator is able to reflect different types of targets and SS-BiSAR using GNSS as illuminator of opportunity is potential to realize local area monitoring.
