By placing radar transmitter\/receiver in near-space platforms, many functions that are currently performed with satellites or airplanes could be performed in a cheaper way. Inspired by these advantages, this paper introduces several near-space vehicle-based radar configurations, such as near-space passive bistatic radar and high-resolution wide-swath (HRWS) synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Their potential applications, technical challenges and possible solutions are investigated. It is shown that near-space is a satisfactory solution to some specific remote sensing applications. Firstly, near-space passive bistatic radar using opportunistic illuminators offers a solution to persistent regional remote sensing, which is particularly interest for protecting homeland security or monitoring regional environment. Secondly, near-space provides an optimal solution to relative HRWS SAR imaging. Moreover, as motion compensation is a common technical challenge for the described radars, an active transponder-based motion compensation is also described.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs2030717","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,9]],"date-time":"2010-03-09T11:09:10Z","timestamp":1268132950000},"page":"717-739","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Near-Space Microwave Radar Remote Sensing: Potentials and Challenge Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Wen-Qin","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication and Information Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, 611731 Chengdu, China"},{"name":"The Institute of Plateau Meteorology (IPM), China Meteorological Administration (CMA), China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingye","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication and Information Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, 611731 Chengdu, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qicong","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication and Information Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, 611731 Chengdu, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"225","DOI":"10.1016\/j.isprsjprs.2006.08.002","article-title":"Performance analysis of the TerraSAR-X traffic monitoring concept","volume":"61","author":"Meyer","year":"2006","journal-title":"ISPRS J.
