Bistatic radar

Index Bistatic radar

Bistatic radar is the name given to a radar system comprising a transmitter and receiver that are separated by a distance comparable to the expected target distance. [1]

Air-to-air missile

Python family of AAM for comparisons, Python-5 (displayed lower-front) and Shafrir-1 (upper-back) An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a missile fired from an aircraft for the purpose of destroying another aircraft.

Babinet's principle

In physics, Babinet's principle states that the diffraction pattern from an opaque body is identical to that from a hole of the same size and shape except for the overall forward beam intensity.

Bistatic angle

The bistatic angle is the angle subtended between the transmitter, target and receiver in a bistatic radar.

Bistatic Doppler shift

Bistatic Doppler shift is a specific example of the Doppler effect that is observed by a radar or sonar system with a separated transmitter and receiver.

Bistatic imaging

Bistatic imaging is a technique for using imaging using bistatic radar (two radar instruments, with one emitting and one receiving).

Bistatic range

Bistatic range refers to the basic measurement of range made by a radar or sonar system with separated transmitter and receiver.

Bistatic sonar

Most sonar systems are monostatic, in that the transmitter and receiver are in the same place.

Electronic countermeasure

An electronic countermeasure (ECM) is an electrical or electronic device designed to trick or deceive radar, sonar or other detection systems, like infrared (IR) or lasers.

Forward scatter

In telecommunication and astronomy, forward scatter is the deflection—by diffraction, nonhomogeneous refraction, or nonspecular reflection by particulate matter of dimensions that are large with respect to the wavelength in question but small with respect to the beam diameter—of a portion of an incident electromagnetic wave, in such a manner that the energy so deflected propagates in a direction that is within 90° of the direction of propagation of the incident wave (i.e., the phase angle is greater than 90°).

Monostatic radar

Monostatic radar is radar in which the transmitter and receiver are collocated.

Multistatic radar

A multistatic radar system contains multiple spatially diverse monostatic radar or bistatic radar components with a shared area of coverage.

Radar

Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or velocity of objects.

Radar cross-section

Radar cross-section (RCS) is a measure of how detectable an object is by radar.

Semi-active radar homing

Semi-active radar homing (SARH) is a common type of missile guidance system, perhaps the most common type for longer-range air-to-air and surface-to-air missile systems.

Stealth aircraft

Stealth aircraft are designed to avoid detection using a variety of technologies that reduce reflection/emission of radar, infrared, visible light, radio-frequency (RF) spectrum, and audio, collectively known as stealth technology.

Surface-to-air missile

A surface-to-air missile (SAM, pronunced), or ground-to-air missile (GTAM, pronounced), is a missile designed to be launched from the ground to destroy aircraft or other missiles.
