This paper deals with the simulation of the signal received by a polarimetric bistatic radar observing the sea surface. The radar is considered installed on aircraft or helicopters flying over the sea at a constant velocity. The authors present the modeling of the received signal as a function of time. They model completely the bistatic moving radiolink by taking into account the antennas radiation, the polarimetric behavior of the target and the mobiles velocity effect. In this application where the sea surface is considered as the target, its scattering behavior is calculated by using the two-scale model.
