Abstract

The paper is devoted to analysis of spatial resolution of a bistatic space-surface radar system with synthetic aperture of the transmitter. The system is shown to be able to measure two out of three coordinates of a target. Most natural for the measurements are target’s range R, which is evaluated based on the delay time of the received signal, and the projection x of the target radius vector on the direction of satellite’s trajectory, when the projection is measured by the Doppler shift of the received signal frequency. Formulas for the resolving capacity in terms of both these parameters are derived.
