Preliminary results of low frequency Ultra-wideband bistatic SAR experiment
The low frequency ultra-wideband bistatic synthetic aperture radar (LF UWB BSAR) system has the well ability of penetrating the foliage, high-resolution imaging and providing the increased information, thus it is able to detect the vehicle-size targets concealed in the forest. Initial experiment of the LF UWB BSAR system has been carried out in late 2015. In this experiment, both monostatic and bistatic data were collected simultaneously by operating the vehicle-based radar in a strip-map SAR mode, in conjunction with the stationary ground-based receiver. This paper gives an overview of the LF UWB BSAR system, and then discusses the experiment and data processing, finally presents the initial experimental results.
