Analysis for Resolution of Bistatic SAR Configuration with Geosynchronous Transmitter and UAV Receiver by Yicheng Jiang, Zhuoqun Wang

“…Bistatical SAR with geosynchronous illuminator and unmanned aerial vehicle receiver (GEO-UAV BiSAR) has significant potential advantages in the field of continuous local observation under a dangerous environment within nearly 24 h. Due to the extreme platform velocity differences, the ellipse orbital movement of GEOSAR makes this BiSAR configuration not like the conventional spaceborne BiSAR. …”
