Observation and Coordination Needs for Current, Near‐Future, and Next Generation Earth‐Observing SAR Systems

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This paper summarizes an evaluation by experts of how coordination of Earth‐observing Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) missions among the world's space agencies could advance toward game‐changing scientific discoveries and fully realizing SAR's practical capability to address many issues facing society.

First Coincident Radar and Optical Observations of a Meteor Radio Afterglow

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract It has been hypothesized that Meteor Radio Afterglows (MRAs) occur due to resonant transition radiation (RTR) where suprathermal electrons emit as they pass through electron density inhomogeneities in a turbulent plasma. Meteor trails are thought to produce suprathermal electrons through anion oxidation, which can be identified through meteor ...

Frequency Selective Rasorber With Low Insertion Loss and Ultra‐Broadband Scattering Reduction

Advanced Physics Research, Volume 5, Issue 2, February 2026.
We present a dual‐polarization broadband frequency selective rasorber featuring a transmission window in the middle of its absorption band. The proposed FSR achieves a –10 dB reflection band over 3.68–16.94 GHz with a fractional bandwidth of 128.6%, featuring a minimum insertion loss of 0.3 dB at 10.3 GHz.

Dynamic Multistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging: Resolving Motion via Differential Semblance and k‐Space Diversity

IET Radar, Sonar &Navigation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Moving targets often appear defocused and displaced in SAR imagery, complicating detection and recognition—especially when displaced into cluttered regions, where signal‐to‐background ratio is reduced. This work presents a multistatic SAR framework that extracts moving target signatures and reconstructs focused images, providing new insights into the ...

Range‐Free Localisation for Monostatic Passive Radar Employing Multi‐Narrowband Illuminators

IET Radar, Sonar &Navigation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Range‐free localisation is considered for monostatic passive radar with multiple narrowband illuminators under unreliable time‐delay (range) measurements. Doppler/DOA (and optional Doppler‐rate) are fused in an ML framework, where velocity is iteratively updated to reduce the original 6‐D optimisation to a 3‐D position search.

Characterisation and Classification of Resident Space Objects Using Radar Networks

IET Radar, Sonar &Navigation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper describes a simulated environment for generating Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) images and interferometric point clouds using a three‐receiver radar configuration, along with the creation of extensive datasets to train and evaluate deep learning models under varying Signal‐to‐Noise Ratio (SNR) conditions. Findings show that modified

Multistatic Frequency and Polarimetry Adaptive Autofocus for Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging of a Moving Target

IET Radar, Sonar &Navigation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper presents a multistatic, frequency‐ and polarimetry‐adaptive autofocus algorithm (F‐Pol) for SAR imaging of moving targets undergoing complex, six‐degrees‐of‐freedom (6‐DoF) motion. Building on Localised Threshold Sharpness (LTS), the method exploits agreement across frequency sub‐bands and polarisation channels to improve pulse‐by‐pulse ...

Toolkit for incoherent scatter radar experiment design and applications to EISCAT_3D [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae
Modern phased-array incoherent scatter radar (ISR) systems consist of several thousand phased-array antenna elements. Next-generation phased-array ISR systems are shifting towards multistatic setups consisting of three sites, such as EISCAT_3D with sites

Copolar calibration of multistatic radar in the presence of multipath [PDF]

2016 IEEE Radar Conference (RadarConf), 2016
This paper addresses the Polarimetrie calibration of the nodes of a multistatic radar system, by using a reference object with known scattering matrix, such as a metallic sphere. A calibration technique is proposed and its experimental validation performed in a realistic scenario, by accounting also for the multipath effect. The intensity of the signal
