Abstract
We present a system characterisation of a Passive Bistatic Radar (PBR). The system under investigation exploits 'illuminators of opportunity', which in this case are commercial, non-cooperative, VHF FM broadcast transmissions. The paper demonstrates the detection of large passenger-jet aircraft over central London. The merits of FM broadcast transmissions are also analysed in a radar context. Furthermore, a system characterisation with performance predictions is presented.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
