Abstract :
An exact expression for the bistatic resolution-cell area (A B) is developed for the special case in which either the transmit or receive antenna has a broad azimuth beamwidth or is omnidirectional. Quantitative examples are presented to illustrate the variation of AB with location. A comparison is made with the performance of a commonly used approximation formula
