A Novel Bistatic-SAR Simulation-Based On Fixed Receiver

With the fast-growing research on radar technology, significant contributions have been made in the area of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. Somehow, the research on the fixed receiver bistatic SAR is still in its early stages; bistatic SAR provides a spatial division between the transmitter and receiver networks. With the addition of bistatic configurations to the SAR, its scope in terms of the applications being broadened. It has made a significant change in radar technology, especially the deformation monitoring and surveillance. However, there still exist some issues regarding image resolution and azimuth resolution. This paper suggests a bistatic synthetic aperture radar simulation, based on a fixed receiver. Our proposed model utilizes one receiving antenna 1Rx, and one transmitting antenna 1Tx. Both antennas were physically located widely from each other. The transmitting antenna is moving across its aperture while the receiving antenna is fixed. Our proposed model of bistatic SAR reduce the computational cost as well as it gives us improved resolution, and ground deformation monitoring as compared to the existing conventional monostatic SAR models. The modified version of the Range Doppler Algorithm (RDA) is used to conduct simulations.
