We refer to radars that depend on transmitters of opportunity while having no impact on the systems that the transmitters are serving, as commensal radars. Other researchers refer to such systems as passive bistatic radar (PBR) [5], [26], [18]. The word passive refers only to the receivers; since, no radar system can be passive. Our system is multistatic, so the term PBR is not appropriate. Another...
This paper outlines the design of a bistatic passive coherent location radar receiver system using Software Defined Radio (SDR) techniques. The receiver of the bistatic system is made up of a RF front-end, digitisation section, digital signal processing section and user interface. The integration of various components of the system are discussed. The digital signal processing stages of the system...
The prediction of radar coverage as a function of the position of the radar has always been a key step in radar network planning. In the past, simple geometric models backed up by the deployment of siting radars were the only options for potential site evaluation, but the development of sophisticated propagation models (e.g. AREPS [1]) has moved the technology forward to another level of prediction...
In a previous paper we mentioned that Passive Coherent Location (PCL) can be thought of as Cognitive Radar. The deployment of PCL systems (also known as Passive Bistatic Radar-PBR) is fraught with difficulty, even in the situation of a spatially static network of transmitters and receivers. It is well known that PCL systems have to take into account the strong, direct signals of cooperative and opportunistic...
Passive Coherent Radar (PCL) is heavily constrained by the level of direct signal illumination. This paper investigates null steering techniques for a circular array antenna. An 8-element circular array has been designed and a method is proposed to steer multiple nulls in different directions. We present computed performance for two nulls achieved simultaneously. An 8 element dipole array has been...
