Abstract :
In this paper recent results of passive SAR imaging using a Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) transmitter as an illuminator of opportunity are presented. In the experiment the passive radar receiver was mounted on an airborne platform. The main goal was to verify the possibility of ground imaging using passive SAR technology utilizing ground based illuminators of opportunity.
