Abstract :
A multiple-receiver space-surface synthetic aperture radar (MRSS-BSAR) system is brought forward to improve azimuth resolution in SS-BSAR. The system is composed of one moving spaceborne illuminator and multiple static receivers. The receivers are arranged along the transmitter´s moving direction with equal intervals. The profile in azimuth resolution(AR) direction of the point spread function(PSF) of the MRSS-BSAR is derived and the performance is simulated by back-projection processor(BPP). The MRSS-BSAR is proved to be able to achieve high azimuth resolution and not sensitive to targets´ positions.
