Bistatic Radar

Bistatic radar is a system that uses two separate locations: one to send out radio waves (the transmitter) and another to receive the echoes reflected from objects like aircraft or ships. Unlike traditional radar, where the transmitter and receiver are co-located, bistatic setups allow these components to be spread out over a distance. This configuration can improve detection capabilities, reduce vulnerability to jamming, and offer more flexibility in tracking targets. Essentially, it’s a coordinated effort between two separate stations working together to detect and monitor objects more effectively.
