This paper investigates a new and special imaging mode, bistatic forward-looking high-speed maneuvering platform synthetic aperture radar, in which both platforms travel curvilinear trajectories with high velocities and accelerations. A thorough understanding of its new properties of motion, 2-D resolution, and echo signal coupling is given. Applicability of gradient method neglecting time dependence of gradient to this special configuration is addressed. Moreover, 2-D coupling characteristic of echo signal at different imaging distances is investigated.
