Spaceborne bi- and multistatic SAR: potential and challenges

G. Krieger, A. Moreira
2006 IEE Proceedings - Radar Sonar and Navigation  
Bi-and multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) operates with distinct transmit and receive antennas which are mounted on separate platforms. Such a spatial separation has several operational advantages which will increase the capability, reliability and flexibility of future SAR missions. We will introduce various spaceborne bi-and multistatic SAR configurations and compare their potentials for different applications like frequent monitoring, wide swath imaging, scene classification,
