Multistatic radar systems

Abstract This chapter on Multistatic Radar Systems provides a timely coverage of recent work on multistatic radar. We discuss the theoretical aspects of multistatic radar such as target resolution, target localization, and detection principles. We mention technology enablers for multistatic radar including advances in Software Defined Radio and system synchronization techniques. This chapter contributes insights to multistatic radar calibration, and provides a case study of two multistatic systems: NeXtRAD and NetRAD. We show results of interference suppression and also the extraction of micro-Doppler information from measured data. The chapter will be essential reading for all practitioners.
