Abstract
An adaptation of along-track interferometry (ATI) clutter suppression signal processing is described for bistatic geometries in which the radar transmitter and receivers fly independently on separate platforms. Despite the more complicated geometry, this approach retains the simplicity and computational efficiency of standard monostatic ATI. Bistatic and multi-static (bistatic plus monostatic) geometries can yield significant performance advantages compared with monostatic in terms of detecting and geo-locating moving ground targets. We present results from simulated multi-static data that validate the ATI technique and illustrate the advantages. If time allows, we will also present results from an experimental flight test in the final paper. This flight is planned for December 2017, using a multi-static GMTI radar system under development at the Space Dynamics Laboratory.
