Multifrequency integration in FM radio-based passive bistatic radar. Part II: Direction of arrival estimation

The concept of MF operation introduced in [1] has been extended to the target DoA estimation stage, aiming at the same time to (i) increase the angular localization accuracy and (ii) make the DoA estimation performance robust w.r.t. the time-varying characteristics of the waveforms received by PBR, especially when operating in the FM radio band.
