Analysis of the performance of a multiband passive bistatic radar processing scheme

The bistatic radar has been revitalized over the last few years through the rapid development of the passive bistatic radar technology. Passive bistatic radar systems have unique properties, especially is time on target high compared to traditional radar systems, as well as the freedom in choosing from the available transmitters of opportunity. This paper will focus on how to take advantage of the latter of these two special properties in order to achieve better range resolution while maintaining the high coherent processing interval.
