Abstract

This paper addresses architecture, signal processing algorithm and receiver(RX) network planning in MIMO passive radar based on GSM transmitter of opportunity. Design constraints should be derived, before RX network planning. Receiver nodes in MIMO networks may receive direct path signal of different transmitters from main lobe or back lobe. The main subject of this paper is derivation of admissible distance between transmitter and receiver nodes in each situations and RX network planning. In this paper, limiting constraints in minimum distance between transmitter and receiver, in both case of using or not using regeneration approach is studied in passive radar networks. Target detection range is investigated in different distance between transmitter and receiver. finally, RX network planning algorithm is proposed and applied to a typical scenario.
