Tilt phenomenon in bistatic SAR image
نویسندگان
چکیده
The tilt phenomenon or skew in bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images has been known. This can be observed from the SAR image of a point-like scatterer, even with symmetrical aperture. letter explains this and shows that depends on initial last positions transmitter receiver platforms. A formula to calculate angle based general geometry is provided. supports system design quality measurements.

Bistatic SAR image formation
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) allows all-weather, day-and-night surface surveillance and has the ability to detect, classify and geolocate objects at long stand-off ranges. Bistatic SAR, in which the transmitter and the receiver are on separate platforms, is seen as a potential means of countering the vulnerability of conventional monostatic SAR to electronic countermeasures, particularly dire...
متن کاملTanDEM-X Bistatic SAR Processing
In June, 2010 the German SAR satellite TanDEM-X (TerraSAR-X-Add-on for Digital Elevation Measurements) will be launched. Together with TerraSAR-X, launched June 15, 2007, it will form the first spaceborne bistatic SAR platform. Usually one of the satellite is transmitting (active satellite), while both are receiving. As both satellites fly in a helix orbit constellation, during a recording a sa...
متن کاملAntenna motion errors in bistatic SAR imagery
Antenna trajectory or motion errors are pervasive in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. Motion errors typically result in smearing and positioning errors in SAR images. Understanding the relationship between the trajectory errors and position errors in reconstructed images is essential in forming focused SAR images. Existing studies on the effect of antenna motion errors are limited to cer...
متن کاملA Bistatic SAR for Earth Observation
Bistatic radar is an active microwave sensor operating with separated transmitting and receiving antennae. This paper deals with a spaceborne mission of a bistatic synthetic aperture radar based on a small satellite flying in formation with ENVISAT along parallel orbits, and equipped with a receiving only microwave system, which catches the ASAR echoes. The proposed system does not require any ...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis for Bistatic Interferometric SAR Configurations
The results of an interferometric performance analysis for spaceborne parasitic SAR configurations are presented. The analysis includes errors due to limited SNR, block adaptive quantization, range and azimuth ambiguities, and geometric decorrelation for both flat surfaces and random volumes. Relative height accuracies for three spaceborne configurations with PALSAR, ASAR and TerraSAR-X as illu...
