Spaceborne bistatic synthetic aperture imaging radarThe properties of two configurations for a spaceborne bistatic SAR are examined and compared with the properties of a monostatic SAR. The two bistatic configurations considered are a system consisting of an orbiting spaceborne transmitter and a ground receiver and a system consisting of a transmitter on a geostationary satellite and a receiver or receivers on an airborne platform. The properties discussed or analyzed include imaging coordinate system, azimuth and range resolution, azimuth and range ambiguities, and swath width.
