The interest in biand multistatic radar has been growing over the last years as they offer various advantages. For instance the transmitter and receiver can be easily be separated and therefore the survivability can be enhanced by deploying the transmitter further away from the scene. Even the possibility of a forward looking synthetic aperture radar can be realised. Bistatic radar can provide ...

Active microwave radar satellites transmit and receive radar signals with wavelengths in the range of centimeters to one meter thus measuring the roughness of the sea surface, which enables the retrieval of wind and ocean wave fields. Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) are capable of imaging synoptic wind fields with a coverage of up to 500 km x 500 km and a resolution of down to 100 m. As the rad...

The present research is an introductory paper on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems. A review on topics and techniques related to the longrange and shortrange SAR systems are presented. The longrange SAR image is constructed using RangeDoppler Algorithm (RDA); while the RangeMigration Algorithm (RMA) is implemented with shortrange SAR for image formation. The simulation results indica...

A model of radar imaging of ocean phenomena is proposed. This model is an extension of the background NRCS model [7] in the case of non-uniform medium. Radar scattering component takes into account Bragg and non-Bragg (specular reflections and impact of wave breaking) scattering mechanisms. Varying surface current, surface temperature and surfactants are the main sources of medium non-uniformit...

With the technological growth of broadband wireless technology like CDMA and UWB , a lots of development efforts towards wireless communication system and Imaging radar system are well justified. Efforts are also being imparted towards a Convergence Technology.. the convergence between a communication and radar technology which will result in ITS ( Intelligent Transport System ) and other appli...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) generates a range and cross-range image when radar is moving. Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) is a variation of the SAR that generates a range-Doppler image of targets by coherently processing radar returns at different target aspect angle due to relative motions between the radar and the target [1]. The distribution of radar reflectivity over a target can...
