Forward scatter radar mode for passive coherent location systems

The transfer of the forward scatter concept to passive coherent location systems provides an emerging area of research. This paper investigates aspects of such a system through analysis and discussion of previous dedicated forward scatter radar research, showing that indeed the addition of a forward scatter channel to existing passive systems would enhance the current capabilities.
