Denial of bistatic hosting by spatial–temporal waveform design
نویسنده
چکیده
A set of theoretical techniques to prevent a radar from being used by a bistatic radar receiver as a non-cooperative illuminator are analysed. This works by radiating in addition to the radar signal waveform, a ‘masking signal’ waveform which is orthogonal to the radar signal waveform, both in the coding domain and the spatial domain. A number of different coding schemes are analysed. Two spatial coding methods are presented and analysed: the first uses a pair of interferometer elements at the extremities of the radar antenna array; the second uses a Butler matrix to generate a set of orthogonal beams. System-level calculations are presented to show the level of masking of the radar signal received by a bistatic radar receiver, and the suppression of the masking signal in the host radar echo. Some ideas for further work are presented.

Impact of Knowledge-based Techniques on Emerging Technologies
This tutorial provides a discussion of the application of knowledge-based processing techniques to emerging technologies. Following the third of the tutorials in this series we interpret knowledge-based processing as the use of adaptivity and the exploitation of prior knowledge in such a way as to choose the optimum processing method in each case. We interpret ‘emerging technologies’ as novel a...
متن کاملEffects of Geometry Configurations on Am- Biguity Properties for Bistatic Mimo Radar
Bistatic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar can improve the system performance for obtaining the waveform diversity and larger degrees of freedom (DoF), and effectively counteract the stealthy target for its transmit antennas and receive antennas separated placement. Similarly with the conventional bistatic radar, the geometry configurations of bistatic MIMO radar also play an importan...
متن کاملPassive 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 کاملGood practical continuous waveform for active bistatic radar
In monostatic continuous wave (CW) radar the dominant waveform is periodic linear frequency modulation, mostly because its stretch processing requires sampling rate much lower than the bandwidth. In a bistatic scene a clean copy of the transmitted signal, required in stretch processing, is not available to the receiver. That opens the competition for other periodic waveforms. The authors study ...
متن کاملOptimal Baseline Design and Error Compensation for Bistatic Spaceborne InSAR
s: Bistatic SAR systems as opposed to monostatic SAR offer some degrees of freedom in choosing transmitter and receiver separately. In this paper, the spatial baseline in bistatic spaceborne InSAR and the requirements of optimal baseline are analyzed in many aspects. An equation to determine the optimal spatial baseline is derived, and one method to estimate and correct the baseline error cause...
