Passive Bistatic Radar Monitoring with GPS Satellites as Transmitters of Opportunity

Monitoring of navigation in coastal areas is an important task for safety's guarantee. Nowadays a passive bistatic radar system is a point of interests of the scientific community in case of using different transmitters of opportunity. In this paper we consider passive bistatic radar with GNSS signals illumination. Here we suggest the structure of such system and algorithms of GPS signals processing. Also, the experimental suggestions are given. Our analytical research indicates the opportunity to use passive bistatic radar with GPS satellites as transmitters of opportunity as a coastal monitoring system.
