Abstract :
We describe and quantify how a family of SAR platforms transmitting mutually orthogonal waveforms at a common PRF constitute a MIMO radar system that reduces the need for conventional SAR imaging. We give efficient linear collection configurations for up to 15 platforms and an asymptotically optimally efficient sequence of configurations.
