Optical fiber connected passive primary surveillance radar using two receiver units

This paper describes a concept of multi-static primary surveillance radar (MSPSR) developed by ENRI. We have so far proposed an optical fiber connected passive primary surveillance radar (OFC-PPSR) which is based on the principle of passive bistatic radar. A separated receiver unit uses scattered waves from aircraft and radar reference data transmitted by the radio over fiber (RoF). Radio frequency signals of transmitter unit and processing data such as rotating angle, transmitted timing and so on, are included as reference data. In this paper, we introduce the proposed system which consists of two receiver units. Then, we show a preliminary experimental result. It will be shown that the proposed system detects the moving object.
