Description
Summary:A three-dimensional "full-polarized" model for arbitrary transmitter, receiver and target motions in bistatic synthetic aperture radar configurations is proposed. Qualitative validation of this model is presented through comparison with existing results and quantitative validation is obtained from proposed general analytical resolution equations. To take into account complex targets, geometric theory of diffraction based models are considered. Some numerical results are proposed in bistatic and monostatic configurations which permit to check the performance of the proposed model and to highlight the interest of the bistatic synthetic aperture radar imaging
