Recent work has demonstrated a passive radio sounding approach that uses the Sun as a source for echo detection and ranging. As the Sun is a moving source with a position that is known a priori, we evaluate this technique’s capabilities to measure the echo’s phase history, map topography, and perform synthetic aperture radar (SAR) focusing. Here, we present our approach to implementing passive SAR...Show More
In this paper, digital video broadcasting (DVB-T) transmitters are considered for passive SAR imaging of ground scenarios.

We present a novel image formation method for passive synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. The method is an alternative to widely used time difference of arrival (TDOA) or correlation-based backprojection method. These methods work under the assumption that the scene is composed of a single or a few widely separated point targets. The new method overcomes this limitation and can reconstruct het...Show More
Passive synthetic aperture radar using transmitters of opportunity can be used for remote sensing, using frequency bands that are not normally allowed for transmitting radars. Passive radars do not transmit but instead use signals from other transmitting sources. Useful signal modulations for passive radar include OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) signals for digital TV following t...Show More

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radars are a popular choice for Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) that identify and track objects in the field of view. These mmWave radars (the primary radar on ego vehicles) are susceptible to interference signals from other mmWave radars (secondary radars on traffic participant vehicles) in the vicinity, which can result in false detection and tracking triggers. ...Show More
