Correlation Analysis of Simultaneously Collected Bistatic and Monostatic Sea Clutter

In this work we analyse the correlation properties of simultaneous bistatic and monostatic polarimetric sea clutter data, collected by the NetRAD multistatic radar system. In particular, we study the temporal autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions of the texture and speckle samples, as a function of the system geometry and of the polarization of the transmitter and receiver antennas. These features can vary significantly as a function of bistatic angle and the goal of this paper is to quantify these variations and extract any trends that are observed

Measurements of the Multistatic X&L Band Radar Signatures of UAVS

This paper illustrates the results of a series of measurements of multistatic radar signatures of small UAVs at L and X band. The system employed was the multistatic multiband radar system, NeXtRAD, consisting of one monostatic transmitter-receiver and two bistatic receivers. Results demonstrate the capability of the system of recording bistatic data with baselines and two-way bistatic range of the order of few kilometres

Performance Evaluation of Two Multistatic Radar Detectors on Real and Simulated Sea-Clutter Data

In this paper we evaluate the performance of two multistatic radar detection schemes on real and synthetically-generated sea clutter data. The analysis utilizes both monostatic and bistatic radar data, simultaneously collected by the nodes of the N etRAD system. The first contribution is a demonstration of how the evolved Doppler spectrum model can accurately simulate multistatic sea-clutter with statistical and spectral properties which match the real data. The second contribution is an analysis of the detection performance obtained from different bistatic angles and a demonstration that the results from both real and simulated data are comparabl
