Range Doppler Algorithm for Bistatic Sar Processing Based on the Improved Loffeld’s Bistatic Formula
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new range Doppler algorithm (RDA) for bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing in a general configuration based on a bistatic point target reference spectrum: the improved extended Loffeld’s bistatic formula (ILBF). The ILBF spectrum is proved to be comparably accurate with the spectrum derived using the method of series reversion (MSR). Based on the expansion of the ILBF spectrum, a new bistatic RDA is developed to process the azimuth invariant and variant bistatic SAR data. Compared with existing bistatic RDA, the new algorithm has a simpler formulation and is able to cope with moderate or high squint bistatic SAR data. The simulated data in the azimuth invariant and variant bistatic configurations are used to validate the new algorithm.

Bistatic Forward-Looking Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging Based on the Modified Loffeld’s Bistatic Formula
Bistatic forward-looking SAR (BFSAR) has many potential applications, such as selflanding in bad weather and military detection. Therefore, BFSAR receives considerable attention recently. The imaging algorithms for BFSAR are the difficulties of the study. The original Loffeld’s Bistatic Formula (LBF) can handle most general bistatic SAR configurations well. But in some complex bistatic geometri...
متن کاملA Review of Point Target Spectra for Bistatic SAR Processing
Bistatic SAR data are more complicated to process than monostatic data because of the versatile sensor geometry and the non-stationary properties of the received data. Recent approaches to the processing of bistatic SAR data have revolved around finding an accurate representation of the two-dimensional spectrum for a point target. In this paper, we review past methods of obtaining the spectrum,...
متن کاملExperimental data imaging for the airborne bistatic SAR
The signal processing in the bistatic SAR case is more complex than the monostatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) case due to issues such as the range history of the target echo signal, time synchronization error, time-varying Doppler rate because of squint, etc. In this paper, a monostatic equivalent geometry model of bistatic SAR is established; the mechanism of the System time synchronizatio...
متن کاملDigital Processing Algorithms for Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar Data
The motivations for this thesis are the investigation of bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image formation and the development of bistatic SAR algorithms to accommodate various bistatic SAR geometries. Traditional monostatic SAR algorithms based on frequency domain methods assume a single square root (a hyperbolic) range equation. In bistatic SAR data, the range history of a target has a ...
متن کاملGeneral Processing Approach for Bistatic SAR Systems: Descrip- tion and Performance Analysis
For its intrinsic properties, bistatic SAR processing cannot be approached in the same manner monostatic SAR processing is approached. In general, a bistatic SAR processor is more than a powerful focussing algorithm. Because of the lack of precise time (range) and phase (Doppler) references in non-cooperative (and even cooperative) bistatic systems, a prior software synchronisation step is used...
