Abstract:

The ambiguity function formula is proposed based on the feature of bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR), followed by the simulation analysis of the ambiguity function of the monostatic formation, parallel constellation bistatic and arbitrary formation bistatic. The results show the ambiguity function of monostatic SAR is decided by signal bandwidth and the size of antenna but the bistatic SAR system is influenced by the geometry model and the velocity of platform. The example demonstrates the fact that bistatic geometry plays an important role in ambiguity function analysis，which provides principle for the selection of bistatic formation.
