Abstract :
This paper presents a new calibration algorithm for coherent image formation in a multi-bistatic radar imaging system. The algorithm uses two spheres as calibration targets. Preliminary results show that positional errors larger than one wavelength can be corrected, thus improving the performance of current-state-of-the art algorithms like the Iterative Field Matrix (IFM) method [4].
