BISAR algorithms and MATLAB implementation

Abstract

This paper deals with program implementation of Bistatic Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (BISAR) using to extract a high resolution image of a moving target. BISAR is a bistatic topology with stationary transmitter and receiver and a moving target. The transmitter, receiver and target, represented as an assembly of point scatterers are situated in separate coordinate systems. Geometrical and kinematical equations and a mathematical model of deterministic LFM BISAR signal are described. A program code of signal formation and image extraction is implemented in MATLAB.
