This article examines methods for and results of determining the instantaneous kinematic state a target, i.e., its velocity heading, using passive multistatic radar. is achieved by combining bistatic target range Doppler information obtained multiple transmitter-receiver pairs, to estimate appropriate vector. estimation provided as set closed-form equations, derived general case applicable an a...

In this article, we review and compare different methods for the localization of an illuminator opportunity passive radar systems employing cooperative targets. For assessment comparison, use numerical simulations real-world measurements. To achieve reliable operation under conditions, a correct robust association bistatic target observations with ground truth information is necessary. We intro...

Among the algorithms used for the retrieval of SMC from microwave sensors (both active, such as Synthetic Aperture Radar-SAR, and passive, radiometers), the artificial neural networks (ANN) represent the best compromise between accuracy and computation speed. ANN based algorithms have been developed at IFAC, and adapted to several radar and radiometric satellite sensors, in order to generate SM...

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...
