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...

Bistatic configuration is an attractive concept for spaceborne and airborne SAR missions when distributed radars are necessary as for example in the case of interferometric applications. The first reason is the important cost reduction achieved over the multiple radar elements, by having only one transmitter (expensive part) and multiple receivers. The most promising applications are single-pas...

The interest in biand multistatic radar has been growing over the last years as they offer various advantages. For instance the transmitter and receiver can be easily be separated and therefore the survivability can be enhanced by deploying the transmitter further away from the scene. Even the possibility of a forward looking synthetic aperture radar can be realised. Bistatic radar can provide ...

This paper addresses the issue of reference signal being contaminated by target echoes due to factors such as wide beamwidths, beam pointing errors, or site errors in passive bistatic radar (PBR). Such contamination can lead impurity and subsequently degrade performance traditional object detection methods. To overcome this challenge, a novel method centered around signal’s purification is pres...

Humanitarian demining is a very urgent and important task for many countries and many techniques are proposed for its solution [1]. We have developed a bistatic GPR system using an Optical Electric Field Sensor (OEFS) as a receiver for landmine detection [2]. This system has two unique features, one is that it is a bistatic radar and the other one is to use a OEFS as a receiver. Therefore, it i...

This report describes the analysis of results of a Lincoln Laboratory experiment which consisted of a series of bistatic scatter and radar measurements of the scattering cross section per unit volume of rain and thin turbulent layers. Results of tbe experiment are presented as average and rms values of the ~ of the bistatic scatter cross section as calculated using the radar data to the cross s...
