GB-SAR based on multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology can achieve high accuracy and real-time detection performance. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to design transmitting and receiving array elements, which increases the minimum spacing of the antenna by sacrificing several equivalent phase centers. In MIMO arrays, the minimum antenna spacing in the azimuth direction is doubled, which increases the variety of antenna options for this design. To improve the accuracy of the system, a new method is proposed to estimate channel phase errors, amplitude errors, and position errors. The position error is decomposed into three directions with one compensated by the phase error and two estimated by the strong point. Finally, we validate the accuracy of the system and our error estimation method through simulations and experiments. The results prove that the GB-SAR system performs well in bridge deformation and vibration monitoring with the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14246383","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,19]],"date-time":"2022-12-19T08:41:41Z","timestamp":1671439301000},"page":"6383","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A Novel GB-SAR System Based on TD-MIMO for High-Precision Bridge Vibration Monitoring"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3346-0145","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zexi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Radar Signal Processing, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5784-4031","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhiyong","family":"Suo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Radar Signal Processing, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7140-4844","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Feng","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology, Nanjing 210039, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0398-7002","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lin","family":"Qi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Radar Signal Processing, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4732-0015","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haihong","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Radar Signal Processing, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenfang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Radar Signal Processing, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Luzi, G.
