Use of a graphics processing unit for passive radar signal and data processing

The article discussed two main topics: 1. It illustrated the need for increasing the performance of the passive sensor signal processor. The GPU appears to be a solution especially for the computational request of a dual-band system simultaneously receiving and processing FM and DVB-T data. 2. It presented of the AULOS passive system already in the field.
