A Novel Geosynchronous Spaceborne-Airborne Bistatic Multichannel Sar For Ground Moving Targets Indication

Geosynchronous synthetic aperture radar (GEO SAR) has great potentials in synthetic aperture radar ground moving target indication (SAR-GMTI) due to its high time resolution and wide swath coverage. But the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of echo is too low and multichannel configuration cannot be realize in GEO monostatic SAR. Therefore, geosynchronous spaceborne-airborne bistatic multichannel synthetic aperture radar (GEO-SABM SAR) can realize enhanced SNR and multichannel configuration. In this paper, we establish the slant range model for GEO-SABM SAR and give the VSAR processing flowchart. Finally, the numerical experiments is given to verify the effectiveness of proposed method.
