Capability Study of Three-Dimensional Forward-Looking Resolution and Motion Parameter Design for Bistatic/Multi-Static Synthetic Aperture Radar
A study is conducted on three-dimensional(3D)forward-looking imaging capability and resolution property of bistatic/multi-static synthetic aperture radar(B/M-SAR)in high-space and high-speed state to accurately obtain two-dimensional(2D)variance characteristics of target echo in this configuration. A geometric model is built
and the gradient method and the ambiguity function method are adopted in analysis and simulations. And main motion parameters that affect resolution significantly are designed. The analysis and simulation results show that B/M-SAR possesses the 3D forward-looking imaging capability and there exist the optimal resolution area in the imaging area and the optimal motion period of transmitter. Both the Doppler resolution and the range resolution have 2D variant
but the range resolution becomes better as the y-axis of target increases and reaches the best performance at the transmitter rotation angle of 270 °. Height resolution is invariant in location and performs the best as receiver moves on the right above of the target area. Transmitting signal bandwidth of 234.7 MHz should be chosen to obtain range resolution of 1 meters and height resolution of 2 meters.
