  • Abstract
    This letter demonstrates the feasibility of improving range resolution in passive synthetic aperture radar with the Galileo navigation satellites as transmitters of opportunity. This can be done by an appropriate coherent combination of the Galileo E5a and E5b signals. The proposed approach is analytically derived and is confirmed both by simulation and experiments.
