The dihedral corner reflectors are the basic geometric structure of many targets and are the main contributions of radar cross section (RCS) in the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. In stealth technologies, the elaborate design of the dihedral corners with different opening angles is a useful approach to reduce the high RCS generated by multiple reflections. As bistatic synthetic aperture ...

Bistatic geometries are enabled in scenarios where multiple separated transmitters and receivers are employed as well as when illuminators of opportunity are exploited. Bistatic Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (B-ISAR) becomes the radar imaging tool for obtaining non-cooperative target images in arbitrary bistatic configurations. Theoretical aspects and real data experiments have been conducte...

This paper derives the extended ambiguity function for a bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system, which includes the whole radar system parameters: geometric sensor configuration, waveforms, range, range rate, target scattering and noise characteristics. Recent research indicates the potential parameter estimate performance of bistatic MIMO radars. And this ambiguity functio...

A bistatic radar network that consists of multiple separated radar transmitters (TXs) and receivers (RXs), aiming to detect a target on a set of points of interest (PoIs) is considered. The detection range of a bistatic radar depends on both locations of the TX and RX. The design of the bistatic radar network is investigated by studying the problem of optimally placing a number of radar transmi...

Angle estimation for a bistatic MIMO radar system based on Unitary Esprit techniques is proposed in this study. The algorithm exploits the dual invariance in distinct directions and centrosymmetry of the bistatic MIMO radar system to provide real valued computations and automatically paired Directions of Departures (DOD) and Directions of Arrival (DOA) estimates. Simulation results show the eff...

Imaging and scaling of precession targets are very important in spatial target surveillance. The bistatic wideband radar echo model of the spatial precession cone-shaped target is induced, and bistatic ISAR imaging method based on time-frequency analysis is described. Combined with the monostatic and bistatic scattering characteristics of cone-shaped targets, the cross scaling method is present...

This paper deals with the imaging of a moving target using a multifrequency and multistatic radar consisting in one receiver and several narrowband transmitters. Considering two hypotheses about the studied target, we derive two multistatic inverse synthetic aperture radar processors: the first one, which models the target as a set of isotropic points, performs a coherent sum of bistatic images...
