This book compiles, reviews, and analyzes recent research on passive radars deployed on moving platforms. Because the signals used for passive radar are typically not intended for reception while in motion, applying passive radar technology to moving platforms presents unique challenges.
Passive Radars on Moving Platforms is designed for both experts in passive radar and those less familiar with the field. The editors provide essential background before delving into research from various international working groups. The book includes an overview of operational systems, discussions on calibrating multiple receiving channels, and the hardware implementation of radar systems using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. The final chapter looks ahead to the future of passive radar, envisioning it as part of larger system-of-systems (SoS) architectures, and discusses ongoing work on new potential illuminators of opportunity.
Offering a comprehensive overview of the techniques, challenges, and applications associated with operating passive radar from moving platforms, this book is valuable for radar engineers, radar design researchers, and the broader radar signal processing community.
