Abstract

The problem of estimating the target location on the plane in the bistatic radar with large bistatic angles is considered. The formulas for the location errors and their statistical characteristics are given. At the same time it is adopted a normal distribution of azimuth error and of range error. The results are intended for design of forward scattering radars and similar systems.
