An introduction to passive radar
Amir Zaimbashi, Mohammad Mahdi Nayebi
Abstract
This book explores the problem of detecting targets using multistatic passive radar (PR) under the framework of detection theory. The term "multistatic" indicates that multiple transmitter-receiver pairs are used for target detection, with the receivers being spatially separated. In this type of radar, there is no dedicated transmitter, but instead, transmitters of opportunity, such as radio or television (TV) transmitters, are used.
