Figure 1: Example of Range-Doppler distribution from the Manastash RidgeRadar. The horizontal axis is range from 0 to 1200 km in 1.5 km increments;the vertical axis is Doppler velocity covering 3000 m/s <strong>with</strong> 12 m/s resolution.The data were collected for 10 seconds at 96.5 MHz.The azimuth resolution is approximately 0.2 ◦ for signals whose signal to noiseration exceeds unity.The MRR operates nearly unattended, automatically acquiring data for10 seconds every 4 minutes, performing the range-Doppler processing, andbuilding a WWW page showing the results 2 .3 Zenith Sounding for MST applicationsThe technique used at MRR can be applied to MS (and perhaps T) targetsby keeping the following issues in mind.MST scatterers are predominantly zenith oriented. This means thatstrong forward scatter bistatic geometries are required for passive radar. Thisgeometry is illustrated in Fig. 3.In strong forward scatter geometry, the range delay to the desired targetis not substantially different from the shortest path from transmitter to receiver.This means that the signal scattered from the target will arrive atthe receiver at very soon after any ground clutter signals. Thus, it is quiteimportant that the direct path be offer significant attenuation. It is alsoimportant that there be little ground clutter on paths off the direct path, asthose signals will arrive at the same time as the desired signal.
