Time-delayed statistics for a bistatic coherent lidar operating in atmospheric turbulence.
Analytical expressions are derived for the time-delayed statistics and the heterodyne signal power as a function of the transmitter-receiver spacing for the general case of a bistatic coherent lidar. The effect of the turbulence-induced correlation between the outgoing and return paths was included and the 5/3 law form of the wave structure function was used.
