This study presents an analysis of the detection range of a passive bistatic radar (PBR) by
using FM radio transmitters as the illuminators of opportunity and the analysis of a required …

Radio sources in the Very High Frequency (VHF) band can be seized as opportunity donors
in a passive radar configuration such as FM radio stations and VHF omnidirectional range …

This thesis details the design of a processing chain and system software for a commensal
radar system, that is, a radar that makes use of illuminators of opportunity to provide the …

Most research regarding passive radar exploiting 'illuminators of opportunity', such as FM
radio, has focused on detecting and tracking targets. This study explores adding automatic …

We present the design, development, and test of three novel, distinct automatic target
recognition (ATR) systems for the recognition of airplanes and, more specifically, non …

A method of communications is presented based on the backscatter modulation of terrestrial
digital television signals by low-complexity tags. The modulation is sensed by receivers …

This paper investigates the theoretical placement of receivers in an Commensal Radar (CR),
Doppler only tracking system with a single transmitter multiple receiver configuration …

Commensal radars (CR) depend on transmitters of opportunity whilst having no impact on
the systems the transmitters are serving. This paper presents initial trials conducted to …

This paper furthers the investigation into modulation effects of propeller-powered aircraft on
signals sensed by multistatic FM-band passive radar sensors. Previous results have …

Passive radars exploiting ambient illuminators of opportunity are developing into mature
sensors that might fill roles currently requiring active primary radars. This paper considers …
