Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar

Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar covers bistatic SAR in a comprehensive way, presenting theory, method and techniques, as well as the most recent research and near-future applications. The book begins with imaging principles and characteristics of monostatic SAR, moving on to common and novel problems before presenting theories, methods and experimental system design. The title presents the design of experimental systems, research results and experimental verification. It gives key knowledge from a leading research group, including one of the earliest bistatic side-looking SAR experiments and the first bistatic forward-looking SAR experiment in the world that used two aircraft.

Six chapters cover imaging theory, imaging algorithms, parameter estimation, motion compensation, synchronization and experimental verification. The book describes physical concepts simply and clearly and provides concise mathematical derivations.

Autorentext
Professor at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). He has also been a senior visiting scholar at MIT in the USA, and is a Fellow of the Chinese Institute of Electronics. He received his PhD from UESTC. His research covers 30 years, focusing on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), particularly bistatic SAR, with a number of milestones achieved. In 2007 he conducted the first airborne bistatic side-looking SAR imaging experiment in China, and in 2012 obtained the first bistatic forward-looking SAR image in the world. He has published widely and is considered a leading expert in the field.
