Bistatic HF Radar by Stuart Anderson

Bistatic HF Radar by Stuart Anderson

The proliferation of HF radar systems for ocean remote sensing and maritime surveillance continues apace, with hundreds of such radars now deployed around the world. 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.

Stuart Anderson is a wife, mother, business partner, educator, consultant, and writer. She has a passion for helping individuals and families go forward toward the greater good. At the time of publication, Stuart and her husband David have lived with the Notebook Meeting process for about 12 years through the struggles, challenges, mistakes, revelations, blessings, and successes that we all encounter in daily life. They were stuck in their own clutter and chaos before the Notebook Meeting process became clear. They are you, except that they have a 12-year head start on using The Notebook Meetings. Writing The Notebook Meeting down in a format for others to use is one of Stuart's mountaintop moments. She believes The Notebook Meeting will help you find your greater good and encourage you to do your part to change the world.
