Title
Optimal Data Processing Solutions For Future Bistatic Sar Missions
Abstract
The increasing interest in bistatic SAR missions and in the new opportunities they can create has led to the development during time of a new set of processing solutions, as wide as the possible configurations assumed by the involved satellites and the corresponding applications.This paper is aimed at comparing three possible solutions to the bistatic problem and at analyzing their pros and cons both in terms of scientific quality of the results and of computational effort. These solutions go from a simple adaptation of the standard omega-k focusing algorithm to purely numerical implementations of the processing kernel, in order to manage also the more complex bistatic configurations.The analysis has been performed keeping as reference a future SAR mission proposed by ESA and called SAOCOM-CS, consisting in a passive Companion Satellite flying close to the Argentinian SAOCOM one.
