Abstract

The paper derives the two-dimensional point target spectrum for general bistatic SAR configuration. For the kind of configuration the contributions of transmitter and receiver to the overall instantaneous Doppler frequency are unequal due to the different slant range history. In the paper the instantaneous Doppler contribution ratio is proposed to represent the difference of instantaneous Doppler contributions of transmitter and receiver, and the ratio is derived based on its meaning, which varies with instantaneous Doppler frequency. Then the two-dimensional spectrum is approximately obtained using the principle of stationary phase and Taylor series expansion for general bistatic SAR. The derived spectrum is verified with a point target simulation of general bistatic SAR.
