Development of a Near-Field Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar for Complex Target Reconstruction

This paper begins with a description of the design, construction, and characterization of a small electromagnetic anechoic chamber, developed specifically to house a bistatic ISAR system for the analysis of rock samples. Particular emphasis is given to the practicalities of construction, with the in...
