Zeng Tao received his bachelor’s degree and Ph.D. degree in 1994 and 1999 respectively, from the Department of electronic engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology, China. He was the chairman of IET International Radar conference 2013, and the program chairman of IET International Radar conference 2009.

He joined the teaching staff in Beijing Institute of Technology in 1999. During 2002 to 2003, he visited the Department of Electronic Engineering, University of Birmingham, UK. During 2013.01 to 2013.02, he visited the Department of Electronic Engineering, University of California at Los Angeles. His main research interests include Bistatic SAR signal processing, Mini SAR system, SAR simulation and so on. He was in charge of several state projects, and published more than 80 papers (more than 20 journal papers), and authorized more than 20 patents.

Bistatic SAR (BiSAR) systems have attracted the interests from global researchers and become a hotspot in the international radar community due to the progress of radar technology and rapidly increased applications nowadays. Based on the BiSAR experiments and breakthrough of the key technology, the general progresses of BiSAR systems will be summarized, especially in European radar community, from different aspects such as system design, processing idea and topology etc. Different bistatic image formation algorithms will be analyzed and reviewed. Furthermore, the principle of bistatic Interferometry based on opportunity illumination will be introduced, and the processed results of bistatic Interferometry will be shown in detail.
