Abstract

In this study, we used the digital television signal broadcasted by geostationary satellite for passive bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging and interferometry applications. A prototype system was designed and fabricated with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components. Specifically, three COTS low noise block downconverters (LNBs) were synchronized for a longtime coherent measurement. Multiple TV channels were combined to achieve a wider bandwidth to improve the range resolution. The potential applications of this ground-based radar system are SAR imaging, displacement estimation, and digital elevation model generation. Hardware design and data processing algorithms are described. Experimental results are presented to validate the performance of the designed system and the proposed methods.
