Bistatic and Multistatic Radar Systems

Abstract

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 with non-cooperative transmitters is described and various aspects of signal processing and signal parameters are discussed.
