What is passive radar?
Passive radar systems doesn’t require to have a transmitter; it
depends on a radio transmitter of opportunity provided by
someone to illuminate radar targets
It utilizes the already existing RF energy in the atmosphere
Examples of such sources of RF energy are Broadcast FM
stations, Global Positioning Satellites, Cellular Telephones,
and Commercial Television.
They have advantages of Low probability of intercept and
High jamming resistance
5
Passive Bistatic Radar(PBR)
PBR is part of the bistatic or multistatic radars that make
use of numerous antennas set in varying locations
6
Challenges of PBR
The complexity of its geometrical system(With multiple
antennas and receivers)
The dependence on third-party illuminators

What is FSR?
When a bi-static radar configures such that the bi-static angle
(β) is close to 180 degrees, then the radar system is called
forward scattering radar (FSR)
9
Features of FSR
Simple hardware required for implementation
High rise in the target radar cross section (RCS) compared to
monostatic radar
The received forward scattering signal is independent from
the target material, which means that FSR is robust to stealth
technology
10
Limitations
Lack of range resolution and operation within narrow angles

What is SDR
13
Benefits of SDR
Flexible(related to wireless standards and their related
protocols )
Reduced Obsolescence
Enhances Experimentation
Brings Analog and Digital World Together
14
Limitations of SDR
The choice of architecture depends on the available
technology e.g. ADC performance, semiconductor
technology
Software reliability (or the lack thereof) may define overall
radio reliability, rather than hardware limitations

Target specification

Indoor setup
The receiver was located 2.5 meter distance (D= base line)
from the transmitter
The receiver antenna was positioned at a height of 1.6m
The target was flying along the air crossing the baseline at a
distance of 1 meter from the receiver’s antenna and 1.5 meter
from the transmitter

Extracted Signature
Extracted signatures comparison for the same
target model on different tests

Euclidean distance Matrix
A minimum Euclidean distance criteria has been adopted to evaluate
the similarity among different UAV models
The greater the difference in size among the UAV’s, the greater the
obtained distances
Target classification
