Passive radar network systems utilize multiple transmitters of opportunity and multichannel receivers to offer remarkable performance improvement due to the advantage of signal and spatial diversities. The frequency modulation (FM) commercial radio signals have become attractive for passive radar applications owing to their wide-spread availability and the favourable Doppler resolution. In this paper, two transmitter subset selection schemes, balancing the trade-off between target parameter estimation accuracy and infrastructure utilization, are proposed for FM-based passive radar networks. In the first, the subset size of selected transmitters employed in the estimation process is minimized by effectively selecting a subset of transmitters such that the required target parameter estimation mean-square error (MSE) threshold is attained. In the second, an optimal subset of transmitters of a predetermined size κ is selected such that the estimation MSE is minimized. These problems are formulated as a knapsack problem (KP), where the coherent Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) is used as a performance metric. Both transmitter subset selection schemes are tackled with greedy selection algorithms by successively selecting transmitters so as to minimize the performance gap between the CRLB and a predetermined MSE threshold or a predetermined subset size. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the problem of transmitter subset selection is not only a function of the transmitted waveforms but also of the relative geometry between the target and the passive radar network systems, which leads to reductions in both computational load and signal processing costs.

“…In the same context, a passive radar system with a noncooperative transmitter and a receiver was studied in many researches [22]- [24]. They presented this system with a single receiver channel to receive two signals: a reference signal and a surveillance signal, but they cleared up the detection of a target by processing a (range-Doppler) diagram at the output of a matched filter.…”

Passive radar is a bistatic radar that detects and tracks targets by processing reflections from non-cooperative transmitters. Due to the bistatic geometry for this radar, a target can be localized in Cartesian coordinates by using one of the following bistatic geometries: multiple non-cooperative transmitters and a single receiver, or a single non-cooperative transmitter and multiple receivers, whereas the diversity of receivers or non-cooperative transmitters leads to extra signal processing and a ghost target phenomenon. To mitigate these two disadvantages, we present a new method to estimate Cartesian coordinates of a target by a passive radar system with a single non-cooperative transmitter and a single receiver. This method depends on the ability of the radar receiver to analyze a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and estimate two arrival angles for the target’s echo signal. The proposed passive radar system is simulated with a Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial (DVB-T) transmitter, and the simulation results show the efficiency of this system compared with results of other researches.

The DVB-T signals are an attractive source of illumination for the passive radars due to their wide bandwidth and signal structure. The DVB-T standard permits the reconstruction of the received reference signal to enhance its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The signal reconstruction possibility allows the use of a simplified configuration of the radar by employing a single receiver. In this paper, we propose an optimized processing scheme for the single receiver DVB-T passive radar. We carry out Monte-Carlo simulations to assess the performances of the single receiver configuration, and we present real-data results to validate the proposed scheme.
