Bistatic two-antenna scanning in microwave imaging

It is known that two-antenna aperture synthesis scanning doubles azimuth resolution of imaging systems. Our previously reported image reconstruction approach assumes that transmitting and receiving antennas are situated very closely to each other. In real conditions this can be violated due to antennas physical dimensions and necessity to reduce coupling. Using common approaches can cause reconstructed image distortions. This paper presents approach that takes into account antennas separation. Effectiveness of the approach is experimentally proven.
