Abstract

Object localization in Multisite (Multistatic) Radar Systems (MSRSs) is possible using only target range measurements relative to spatially diverse stations (antennas). However, bistatic range sums can be measured in MSRSs too. Taking into account that implementation of bistatic measurements often require overcoming certain serious technical difficulties, it is important to reveal whether bistatic measurements can significantly enhance Target Localization Accuracy (TLA). This paper is devoted to this problem.
