Summary:The paper is devoted to experimental investigation of coherent radiometric imaging in azimuth-range plane. The Ka-band radar system suggested is a version of bistatic noise waveform SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) using two antennas with pattern synthesis and additional receive channel used as a reference signal. Indoor radiometric imaging has been validated using absorbers as the targets. These experiments enabled to estimate both range and angular resolution capabilities of a new radiometric system that was achieved due to application antennas with pattern synthesis and SAR signal processing. This estimate may be done within the range span limited by bistatic radiometer baseline.
