Passive bistatic synthetic aperture radar imaging with galileo transmitters and a moving receiver: Experimental demonstration

Abstract

This study discusses experimental methods and results on passive bistatic synthetic aperture radar using navigation satellites as transmitters of opportunity and a moving receiver. The article highlights practical issues in imaging. Experimental imagery obtained using Galileo satellite emissions and a receiver onboard a ground moving vehicle confirm the system technical feasibility as well as some of its major theoretically predicted parameters. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2013.
