The overwhelming majority of these radars operate in the conventional monostatic configuration, with the transmitting and receiving systems collocated or closely spaced; this simple geometry has obvious advantages in terms of cost, siting requirements, communications, maintenance, signal processing, and echo interpretation, and it has been adopted by HF radars exploiting line-of-sight, surface wave, and skywave propagation modalities. All these considerations notwithstanding, in some circumstances there can be compelling reasons to implement bistatic configurations, defined as geometries in which the separation between transmitter and receiver is comparable with the range to the zones being interrogated. Factors that can drive this decision include energy budget, desire to exploit hybrid propagation modes, scattering characteristics of the targets of interest, properties of the clutter, survivability, and covertness. This book, a compilation of papers by leading researchers in the field, offers a panoramic account of the state of the art in bistatic HF radar. Topics covered include system design, HF propagation and scattering, signal processing, echo interpretation, and applications in the maritime domain. Supported with extensive references to the literature, this book should serve as an essential source for practitioners keen to expand the capabilities of their HF radar systems.History of engineering and technologybicsscbistatic configurationbistatic HF radarbistatic HFSWRbistatic radarcompact HFSWRcyclic cross ambiguity functiondata fusiondirectional wave spectrumDoppler spectraelectromagnetic scatteringexperiment verificationextended Kalman filterextreme learning machinefirst-order sea clutterGPSHF radarHFSWRinteracting multiple modelinversionmultiple satellites collaborationOTH radarpassive detectionradar cross sectionradar cross section (RCS)radio oceanographyremote sensingscattering coefficientsea cluttershipborne HFSWRshore-to-air bistatic HF radartarget detectiontarget trackingtrack associationHistory of engineering and technologyAnderson Stuartedt1250970Anderson StuartothBOOK9910557296503321Bistatic HF Radar3018455UNINA
