Bistatic TerraSAR-X/F-SAR Spaceborne-Airborne SAR Experiment: Description, Data Processing and Results [PDF]
We report about the first X-band spaceborne-airborne bistatic SAR experiment, using the German satellite TerraSAR-X as transmitter and DLR's new airborne radar system F-SAR as receiver. The data were acquired early November 2007.

Efficient Time-Domain Image Formation with Precise Topography Accommodation for General Bistatic SAR Configurations [PDF]
Due to the lack of an appropriate symmetry in the acquisition geometry, generalised bistatic SAR cannot benefit from the two main properties of low-to-moderate resolution monostatic SAR: azimuth-invariance and topography-insensitivity.

Developments in target micro-Doppler signatures analysis : radar imaging, ultrasound and through-the-wall radar [PDF]
Target motions, other than the main bulk translation of the target, induce Doppler modulations around the main Doppler shift that form what is commonly called a target micro-Doppler signature.

Sparse Imaging-Based Clutter Suppression and Refocusing of MTs in Passive Bistatic SAR
A sparse-imaging-based methodology for the clutter suppression and refocusing of multiple slow-moving targets (MT) in passive bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is proposed in this paper.

Spaceborne Bi- and Multistatic SAR: Potential and Challenges [PDF]
Bi- and multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) operates with distinct transmit and receive antennas that are mounted on separate platforms. Such a spatial separation has several operational advantages, which will increase the capability, reliability ...

Focusing Bistatic FMCW SAR Signal by Range Migration Algorithm Based on Fresnel Approximation
Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technique has recently been employed by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to decrease the radar cost and volume. However, the operation range is limited by the direct energy leakage from the transmitting channel to

Single-Pass Bistatic SAR Interferometry Using Fixed-Receiver Configurations: Theory and Experimental Validation [PDF]
In this paper, bistatic interferometry using fixed-receiver configurations is addressed both theoretically and experimentally. The analytical expressions for interferometric phase and height sensitivity are derived, and a full interferometric processing ...
