Passive Detection Experiment of UAV Based on 5G New Radio Signal

In response to the urgent need for drone detection, a proposal using 5G New Radio (NR) signals for drone detection was proposed combined with the deployment status of 5G base stations. The characteristics of 5G NR signals and their advantages in drone detection were analyzed, and the range-Doppler two-dimensional detection and tracking processing procedure was designed with a multichannel receiver station. The outfield experiment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) detection was carried out through the experimental system and the results initially verified the feasibility of using 5G NR signals for UAVs detection.
