N2 - This paper discusses the implementation of a passive radar system designed to perform imaging of the ground using radar satellites as emitters of opportunity. The receiver consists in a 4-element microstrip antenna array and is able to receive the signals from most C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar satellites. The array antenna is used to attenuate the direct-path signal by null-steering. The successive processing steps are described with focus on the signal synchronization, signal separation and the image formation algorithm. The current results are presented and discussed.
