Time Domain Bistatic SAR Processor

摘要

The Defence R AND D Canada - Ottawa (DRDC Ottawa) is participating in a joint experiment with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in Rome, New York under TTRDP. The objective of this study is to understand bistatic radar and bistatic clutter statistics, and to investigate processing methods with the ultimate aim of detecting airborne targets. As part of this study SAR processing techniques are developed for bistatic SAR data. The data set used to test the processor in this study were acquired in Rome, NY during the trial dated 28 January 2002. The data are examined for saturation, integrity, spectral properties and phase stability. The bistatic SAR processor is coded in Matlab using timedomain azimuth compression and bistatic SAR images are produced.
