Bistatic Radar: Principles and Practice

With contributions from international experts working with bistatic radar, this book provides an introduction to the technology, covering information on basic principles and design. Starting with a detailed look at monostatic radar, examining the development of the field as a whole, the book then goes on to:

• introduce the classical aspects of bistatic radar such as geometry, power budget and resolution;
• present an in depth analysis of bistatic scattering of electromagnetic waves;
• provide an overview of the bistatic radar potential which follows from their bistatic nature;
• discuss forward scattering radar;
• investigate forward scattering radar for air targets detection and tracking;
• set out an experimental study of real world forward scattering radar.

Bistatic Radar: Principles and Practice gives an up-to-date overview of this important technology for practising engineers and researchers involved in the design and implementation of bistatic radar in a range of industries. It is also a valuable reference for advanced students taking special courses in radar technology.
