Abstract
Bistatic SAR data has advantages and disadvantages compared to monostatic data. This papers examines a combined bistatic and monostatic SAR data collection. The airborne platform used a monostatic radar system with two transmit and two receive channels in a pulsed spotlight mode. Another receive-only system was placed on an elevated mountaintop. The mountaintop receive system had two receive channels. The airborne asset flew in a full circle around several targets, exercising a large range of bistatic geometries. Various SAR modes were collected, including single-channel, quad-channel, and along-track interferometry (ATI) data for monostatic and bistatic modalities. This paper focuses on the single-channel SAR collect and mitigating the clock drift induced by using an oven-controlled crystal oscillator (instead of atomic clocks).
