Reconstruction of Reference Signal for DVB-S Based Passive Radar Systems

Abstract

Direct broadcasting satellites (DBS) are good opportunity illuminator for passive radar system. This paper presents a method for reception, decoding and reconstruction of DVB-S transmitting signal for the purpose of using it in passive radar systems as a reference signal. Therefore, this paper studies the performance of DBS as the opportunity illuminators for passive radar. The simulation results demonstrate that the recreated reference signal has a high similarity with the transmitted signal, which can act as a perfectly reconstructed and error-free match signal for the following 2D Cross-correlation processing. 
