Bistatic Passive Radar Demonstrator Using COTS
نویسندگان
چکیده
A low-cost passive bistatic radar system using digital video broadcasting satellites (DVB-S) as illuminators of opportunity is presented. The system was developed using off-the-shelf components which a global cost of approximately 100 Euros. To increase the target detectability using DVB-S signals in a non-coherent environment a novel methodology, using a reference target and some basic signal processing is presented. The applicability of the passive radar system is demonstrated in a real environment.

Passive Bistatic Radar and Waveform Diversity
This tutorial describes the basis of passive bistatic radar (PBR) systems, and in particular the nature of the waveforms of illuminators of opportunity that they exploit. It shows that there is a wide variety of such waveforms, from broadcast, communications and radionavigation transmissions, and that in general they are not optimum for radar purposes. In addition, they usually vary significant...
متن کاملExperimental Results Using Satellite Illuminator for Passive Bistatic Radar
Passive, bistatic radar offers an attractive method for remotely detecting and imaging targets without the requirement of a dedicated transmitter. Passive radar systems are usually cheaper than their active counterparts, which easily allows for multi-sensor networks. Furthermore, passive radar systems are difficult to detect and jam. With these advantages come several challenges, however. Bista...

Passive Bistatic Radar (PBR), or Passive Coherent Location, is gaining interest in the radar community as it provides some advantages with respect to active radar. Although, passive radar does not aim to replace active radar, it provides a good complement to it. The computational effort that is required to implement the required signal processing is one of the drawbacks that affect passive rada...
متن کاملBistatic and Multistatic Radar Systems
Radar systems, based on bistatic radar concept attracted a substantial attention in the recent years. Passive coherent location systems using “transmitters of opportunity” like radio or TV broadcasters, GSM base stations, satellite communication and GNSS signals proved their potential in detection and tracking moving targets over a significant area. In this paper the multistatic location system...
متن کاملFM-based Passive Bistatic Radar in ARGUS 3D: Experimental results
Conventional civil Air Traffic Control (ATC) systems are able to detect targets and identify collaborative aircrafts in the air space but they don’t ensure full coverage at low altitudes, in presence of non-cooperative targets (NCTs) and aircraft (A/C) with a low value of radar cross section (RCS). This paper describes the ARGUS 3D (AiR GUidance and Surveillance 3D) project funded by the Europe...
