Active-Passive Radar for Radar Imaging from Aerospace Carriers

Abstract

Algorithms for radar imaging of the underlying surface from aerospace carriers have been synthesized. In doing so, we have considered two possible ways of image reception based on methods of active and passive remote sensing. On this basis, a radar complex, which allows forming images proportional to either the specific effective surface scattering or the effective noise temperature of the underlying surface, has been created. The structural scheme of the complex in accordance with both operating modes is developed. The results of radio image simulation are given.
