Abstract: The direct GPS signals are successfully used in navigation and positioning application. However, reflected GPS signals can also be viewed as useful source for remote sensing information. In this paper, the system parameters that affect the system performance are presented. These parameters include coherent time, footprint area, SNR, range rms error, and number of coherent pulses. Three different scenarios for GPS bistatic measuring are proposed in this paper based on the altitude of GPS bistatic receiver. The comparison among system parameters are discussed in the three scenarios.
Keywords: Global Positioning System, Remote sensing, range rms error, Signal noise ratio, bistatic altimetry.
