In a Bistatic operation, the transmitting and receiving antennas may be separated by a considerable distance. If Bistatic is chosen, the other radars that can act as transmitters (listed together with their parent objects in the Bistatic Transmitter frame) are ungrayed. The following can be set for the Bistatic Transmitter Radar model:
Radar Mode
One of the following modes:
- Search/Track. A Search/Track radar detects and tracks point targets.
- SAR. A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) achieves high resolution in the cross-range dimension by taking advantage of the motion of the vehicle carrying the radar to synthesize the effect of a large antenna aperture.
Radar Components
One or more of the following Bistatic Transmitter Radar components:
