This paper presents a method for detecting moving targets embedded in
foliage from the monostatic and bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR
) data obtained via two airborne radars. The two radars, which are mou
nted on the same aircraft, have different coordinates in the along tra
ck (cross-range) domain, However, unlike the interferometric SAR syste
ms used for topographic mapping, the two radars possess a common range
and altitude (i.e., slant range), The resultant monopulse SAR images
are used to construct difference and interferometric images for moving
target detection, It is shown that the signatures of the stationary t
argets are weakened in these images, Methods fur estimating a moving t
arget's motion parameters are discussed, Results for an ultrawideband
UHF SAR system are presented.
