In bistatic radar, the transmitter and receiver are separated. As the receiver is purely passive, it is less susceptible to detection, jamming and anti-radiation missiles. This is also the arrangement used in semi-active radar homing missiles, where the transmitter is ground based and the receiver is in the missile nose. 2, record 1, English, - semi%2Dactive%20radar%20homing%20missile
