This study describes an omega-K algorithm for focusing bistatic synthetic aperture radar(SAR) data using bistatic-to-monostatic conversion. Bistatic SAR system considered in this study consists of a transmitting antenna and a physical array of several receiving antennas. The length of the physical array is identical to the SAR synthetic aperture. Unlike the monostatic case, an omega-K algorithm for the bistatic case is difficult to obtain the exact equation in the 2D wavenumber domain. The key of the proposed algorithm is converting the bistatic data into a monostatic one. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is proved by simulation and real measurement data.
