This paper reports an indoor experiment of bistatic\/multistatic GB-SAR operated in Ku-band with two antennae: one antenna was stationary on the ground and the other was moving along a linear rail. Multiple bistatic GB-SAR images were taken with various stationary antenna positions, and then averaged to simulate a multistatic GB-SAR configuration composed of a moving Tx antenna along a rail and multiple stationary Rx antennae with various viewing angles. This configuration simulates the use of a spaceborne\/airborne SAR system as a transmitting antenna and multiple ground-based stationary antennae as receiving antennae to obtain omni-directional scattering images. This SAR geometry with one-stationary and one-moving antennae configuration was analyzed and a time-domain SAR focusing algorithm was adjusted to this geometry. Being stationary for one antenna, the Doppler rate was analyzed to be half of the monostatic case, and the azimuth resolution was doubled. Image quality was enhanced by identifying and reducing azimuth ambiguity. By averaging multiple bistatic images from various stationary antenna positions, a multistatic GB-SAR image was achieved to have better image swath and reduced speckle noise.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13183733","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,22]],"date-time":"2021-09-22T03:47:35Z","timestamp":1632282455000},"page":"3733","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Indoor Experiments of Bistatic\/Multistatic GB-SAR with One-Stationary and One-Moving Antennae"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5980-8640","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hoonyol","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geophysics, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 24341, Korea"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9156-4394","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jihyun","family":"Moon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geophysics, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 24341, Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"184","DOI":"10.1049\/ip-rsn:20045111","article-title":"Spaceborne bi- and multistatic SAR: Potential and challenges","volume":"153","author":"Krieger","year":"2006","journal-title":"IEEE Proc.
