Abstract
Bistatic radar is different from conventional (monostatic)
radar in that the transmitting and receiving antennas
are in separate locations. For purposes of this thesis the
transmitting radar will be assumed to be located up to 100
miles from the bistatic radar receiver. It will have a
circular scan antenna with a constant rotation rate. The
plan position indicator (PPI) display of the video from the
bistatic radar receiver has both angular and range distortion
caused by the wide separation of the transmitting and
receiving antennas.
The bistatic radar processor receives video signals from
the bistatic receiver and processes them to obtain the information
required to synchronize the PPI display's rotation in
rate and phase to the rotation of the transmitting antenna
and to correct the range errors
.
This thesis discusses the design and fabrication of a
simplified version of the processor and how it accomplishes
the functions mentioned above.
