“…The authors did one experiment where a VHF DVB-T based passive radar was deployed in a forest on a low mast around 3 m in height, which was much lower than the surrounding trees, and successfully detected the air targets. The results have been described by Plotka et al [ 19 ]. These valuable results also motivated the authors to check how efficiently the VHF DVB-T illuminator of opportunity would be used in FSR geometry, where the reference signal is also received through the transmitter.…”

This paper presents the application of the time-frequency (TF) reassignment technique in passive forward scattering radar (FSR) using Digital Video Broadcasting – Terrestrial (DVB-T) transmitters of opportunity operating in the Very High Frequency (VHF) band. The validation of the proposed technique was done using real-life signals collected by the passive radar demonstrator during a measurement campaign. The scenario was chosen to test detection ranges and the capability of estimating the kinematic parameters of a cooperative airborne target in passive FSR geometry. Additionally, in the experiment the possibility of utilizing FSR geometry in foliage penetration conditions taking advantage of the VHF band of a DVB-T illuminator of opportunity was tested. The results presented in this paper show that the concentrated (reassigned) energy distribution of the signal in the TF domain allows a more precise target Doppler rate to be estimated using the Hough transform.

In a passive radar system, localizing a target in Cartesian space is achieved by using one of the following bistatic geometries: multiple non-cooperative transmitters with one receiver, one non-cooperative transmitter with multiple receivers, or one non-cooperative transmitter with one receiver. In this paper, we propose a new method for localizing a target in Cartesian space by passive radar having the bistatic geometry “one non-cooperative transmitter and one receiver”. This method depends on using two consecutive particle filters for estimating and analyzing the Doppler frequency and time delay of the target’s echo signal. The theoretical analysis of the proposed method is presented, and its efficiency is verified by simulating the passive radar system with a Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) transmitter.

“…The direct signal is reconstructed to detect targets' echoes [3]- [5]. Many researches have been conducted studying this radar, such as studying and analyzing of signals of non-cooperative transmitters (e.g., Frequency Modulation (FM) radio, Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T), and Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)) [1], [2], [6]- [9], studying of the interference of the direct signal on the surveillance channel [10], [11], detection of "maneuvering/non-maneuvering" targets [12]- [14], and estimation of their parameters (e.g., Manuscript received June 20, 2020; revised September 7, 2020.

In this paper, we estimate Doppler frequency of a maneuvering target being tracked by passive radar using two types of particle filter, the first is “Maximum Likelihood Particle Filter” (MLPF) and the second is “Minimum Variance Particle filter” (MVPF). By simulating the passive radar system that has the bistatic geometry “Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) transmitter / receiver” with these two types, we can estimate the Doppler frequency of the maneuvering target and compare the simulation results for deciding which type gives better performance.
