A new data processing procedure in spaceborne/stationary bistatic SAR experiment

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an important tool for microwave imaging. With the development of SAR technique and the enhancement of the requirement in different imaging tasks, a lot of new modes have been put forward. One of them is the Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar (BiSAR), which has a lot of advantages over the traditional monostatic SAR due to its flexible geometry configuration. To verify these advantages and explore its applications, a series of experiments have been performed. In this paper a data processing procedure, which is used in the spaceborne/stationary BiSAR experiments, will be put forward. Through this procedure an image can be obtained with little dependence on the information of orbit. This gives us a chance for the real-time processing.
