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. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $abistatic configuration 610 $abistatic HF radar 610 $abistatic HFSWR 610 $abistatic radar 610 $acompact HFSWR 610 $acyclic cross ambiguity function 610 $adata fusion 610 $adirectional wave spectrum 610 $aDoppler spectra 610 $aelectromagnetic scattering 610 $aexperiment verification 610 $aextended Kalman filter 610 $aextreme learning machine 610 $afirst-order sea clutter 610 $aGPS 610 $aHF radar 610 $aHFSWR 610 $ainteracting multiple model 610 $ainversion 610 $amultiple satellites collaboration 610 $aOTH radar 610 $apassive detection 610 $aradar cross section 610 $aradar cross section (RCS) 610 $aradio oceanography 610 $aremote sensing 610 $ascattering coefficient 610 $asea clutter 610 $ashipborne HFSWR 610 $ashore-to-air bistatic HF radar 610 $atarget detection 610 $atarget tracking 610 $atrack association 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aAnderson$b Stuart$4edt$01250970 702 $aAnderson$b Stuart$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557296503321 996 $aBistatic HF Radar$93018455 997 $aUNINA
