Recent advances in signal processing and remote sensing have
highlighted the importance of bistatic radar systems for the
purposes of environmental monitoring, surveillance, and tracking
radar. The calibration of such systems has been problematic much
more so than similar monostatic systems, primarily as a result of
the lack of reference objects suitable for calibrating at any given
bistatic angle. This research deals with the problems of
calibrating full-polarimetric laboratory-environment bistatic radar
systems, including the lack of suitable calibration targets and
procedures, and operational considerations such as alignment and
mounting. Several popular bistatic calibration techniques are
classified, evaluated, and comparisons are made between the
relative merits of various calibration objects. The analysis
addresses sensitivity to target alignment error, sensitivity to
polarization impurity, and ease of implementation. Both theoretical
concepts and practical considerations are discussed, based on
measurements accomplished at the European Microwave Signature
Laboratory (EMSL) of the Joint Research Center (JRC) in Ispra,
Italy. Significant gains in co-polarized channel accuracy and
cross-polarization purity are realized with calibrations that
utilize the complete system distortion model, and these conclusions
are discussed in detail.
