| Abstract: | The paper introduces an algorithm for Ultrawideband Ultrawidebeam (UWB) bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). The algorithm works in time-domain and therefore inherits time-domain characteristics such as unlimited scene size, local processing and manageable motion compensation. The proposed algorithm is not limited by any configuration of bistatic SAR. The algorithm processes the UWB bistatic SAR data on a subaperture and subimage basis. This means, instead of backprojecting directly the SAR data to a ground image plane, the algorithm handles the data in two stages: beam forming and local backprojection. The algorithm is named Bistatic Fast Backprojection (BiFBP) and has been tested successfully with the simulated UWB bistatic SAR data. |
