Principles of Modern Radar - Volume 2 1891121537

17.10 References 815While far from being comprehensive, some of the already explored potentialities ofadvanced signal processing have been demonstrated with reference to different types ofPBR. Many further improvements are expected to be developed in the next few years totake advantage of the full potential of passive radar sensors.17.8 ACKNOWLEDGMENTSWe are glad to acknowledge that some parts of this chapter were investigated while workingunder support from Finmeccanica, by means of SESM and SELEX-SI, and from theEuropean Union – 7th Framework Program inside the two Projects: ARGUS 3D (AiRGUidance and Surveillance 3D) – Theme Security , and ATOM (Airport detection andTracking Of dangerous Materials by passive and active sensors arrays) – Theme Transport.We also gratefully acknowledge the collaboration of Dr. C. Bongioanni, Dr. R. Cardinali,P. Falcone, D. Langellotti, and M. Villano for parts of the reported results.17.9 FURTHER READINGThis chapter is specifically devoted to the advanced signal processing techniques that areapplied at the PBR receiver. For a more detailed global system view of the PBR the readeris referred to the following:• Willis, N., and Griffiths, H., Advances in Bistatic Radar, SciTech Publishing Inc.,Raleigh, NC, 2007.where these aspects are fully covered together with the achievable performance.A wide spectrum of topics being researched in the area of passive radar systems canbe found in the following:• Special Issue on Passive Radar Systems – IEE Proceedings on Radar, Sonar and Navigation,June 2005, Vol. 152, Issue 3, pp. 106–223.This Special Issue, Edited by Dr. Paul Howland, includes papers addressing the use ofa variety of transmitters of opportunity – FM radio, digital audio broadcast (DAB), digitalvideo broadcast (DVB), global navigation satellite systems and cell-phone base-stations.Other papers examine the main signal processing challenges and look at the issues ofdeployment modelling and performance prediction. Finally, a number of papers addressthe problems of optimally siting the radar receivers for passive radar and bearings-onlysystems.For additional details on the techniques presented in this chapter, the reader is referredto the papers by the authors as duly referenced in the text.17.10 REFERENCES[1] Special no. on Passive Radar Systems, IEE Proceedings on Radar, Sonar and Navigation,vol. 152, no. 3, pp. 106–223, June 2005.[2] Griffiths, H.D. and Baker, C.J., “Passive Coherent Location Radar Systems.
