The paper describes the results of a conception-stage experiment with a ground-based bistatic noise SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) demonstrator. Its aim was to research the ability of a simple Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) build system to provide a bistatic SAR image using non-cooperative illuminator. The noise signal used in the experiment is similar to a signal used in many transmission systems such as DVB-T that can be employed in passive bistatic radars. The paper presents the system setup, details of the measurement campaign, signal processing and the results of SAR imaging.
