| description | The radar geometry defined by a spatially separated transmitter and receiver with a moving object crossing the baseline is considered as a Bistatic Forward Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (BFISAR). As a transmitter of opportunity, a Digital Video Broadcast-Terrestrial (DVB-T) television station emitting DVB-T waveforms was used. A system of vector equations describing the kinematics of the object was derived. A mathematical model of a BFISAR signal received after the reflection of DVB-T waveforms from the moving object was described. An algorithm for extraction of the object’s image including phase correction and two Fourier transformations applied over the received BFISAR signal—in the range and azimuth directions—was created. To prove the correctness of mathematical models of the object geometry, waveforms and signals, and the image extraction procedure, graphical results of simulation numerical experiments were provided. |
