Abstract
A bistatic high-frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) with both receiving and transmitting stations placed on different ships (platforms) is a new radar system and referred to as shipborne bistatic HFSWR. In this paper, a first-order ocean surface cross section of shipborne bistatic HFSWR was derived. The first-order cross-section models for three different cases, i.e., ships moving with uniform, periodic, and hybrid motion states, respectively, are presented. The corresponding first-order Doppler spectra were simulated, and the spread width of the first-order spectrum was investigated. The simulation results show that the characteristics of the first-order spectrum are similar to those of a shore-based bistatic HFSWR when the transmitting and receiving platforms move in opposite directions. The first-order spectral spread width in the case of platforms with opposite directions is much smaller than that in the case of platforms with the same direction. This finding is useful for reducing HFSWR first-order spectrum spread due to platform motion, thus improving the target detection performance of the shipborne bistatic HFSWR. In addition, periodic oscillation motion of both platforms will cause complex motion-induced peaks in the first-order spectrum, which may be detrimental to target detection and ocean remote sensing. These results have important implications for the application of shipborne bistatic HFSWR.
