Multi Band FM and DVB-T2 Passive Radar Demonstrator

摘要

Reliable and accurate coverage in Passive Coherent Location (PCL) systems requires the use of multiple transmitters of opportunity combined with multiple PCL receivers. FM based PCL is a fairly well developed technology, and is known to provide very accurate Doppler information. DVB-T2, in contrast, is still emerging as a viable illuminator of opportunity for PCL applications. This paper presents the results from a recent measurement campaign, where co-located FM and DVB-T2 PCL systems were used to detect commercial aircraft in the vicinity of Cape Town International Airport.
