Waveform Analysis of Transmitters of Opportunity for Passive Radar
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report investigates the suitability of a number of broadcast band transmitters of opportunity for a passive radar. Specifically, this report reviews the design of active radar waveforms, measures emissions for representative transmitters of opportunity, and assesses the suitability of these signals for various types of radar observation. This report shows that it is indeed possible to construct the suggested passive radar, although performance is limited and depends largely on other parameters, such as receiver bandwidth, antenna pattern and observation time.

Synthetic Aperture Hitchhiker Imaging using Non-Cooperative Sources of Opportunity
A hitchhiker is a passive radar receiver that relies on sources of opportunity to perform radar tasks.1–4 In this paper, we consider a synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) system with static non-cooperative transmitters and mobile receivers traversing arbitrary trajectories and present an analytic image formation method. Due to its combined synthetic aperture and hitchhiking structure, we refer to th...
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...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Brown Model Waveform in Radar Altimetry
In satellite altimetry (radar altimetry), the altimeter emits a pulse, with known power, to the earth surface and receives it back continuously to determine of the sea surface height. The time series of the mean returned power is recorded individually at satellite as the so-called waveform. Analytical model for the waveform is first introduced by Brown, which consists of six parameters: signif...

متن کاملAmbiguity Function Analysis and Direct- Path Signal Filtering of the Digital Audio Broadcast (dab) Waveform for Passive Coherent Location (pcl)
This research presents an ambiguity function analysis of the digital audio broadcast (DAB) waveform and one signal detection approach based on signal space projection techniques that effectively filters the direct-path signal from the receiver target channel. Currently, most Passive Coherent Location (PCL) research efforts are focused and based on frequency modulated (FM) radio broadcasts and a...
