Vehicleborne bistatic synthetic aperture radar imaging

A complete vehicleborne Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging experiment is presented in this paper. Some new technologies were used to solve synchronization problems. An algorithm named the Glide Window Echo CFAR was used to realize time synchronization and collect the echo. High stable local oscillator was employed to achieve frequency and phase synchronization, and the PRF was adjusted adaptively in the Data Acquisition Device in the receive station. Finally, the Range-Doppler algorithm with range migration correction was using to image the certain scene successfully.
