Detection of fast maneuvering air targets using GSM based passive radar

摘要

This paper presents the results of the detection of fast maneuvering air targets (e.g. air fighters) using GSM based passive radar. The results were obtained during the measurement campaign carried out by the Warsaw University of Technology on the Polish coast of the Baltic Sea. The main goal of the trials was to verify the possibility of the utilization of a GSM passive radar as a short range air surveillance radar. The results show a broad range of the GSM-based passive coherent location technology capabilities in that area.
