Passive bistatic noise radar using DVB‐T signals

This study presents a new approach to passively detect targets using noise-like emitters of opportunity. This method combines the Wiener filtering to achieve clutter rejection and a proposed adaptation to noise-like signals of the amplitude and phase estimation (APES) method. This theoretical approach is confirmed by the detection of a helicopter by a bistatic radar using a digital video broadcasting terrestrial (DVB-T) transmitter.
