Abstract

The DVB-T signals are an attractive source of illumination for the passive radars due to their wide bandwidth and signal structure. The DVB-T standard permits the reconstruction of the received reference signal to enhance its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The signal reconstruction possibility allows the use of a simplified configuration of the radar by employing a single receiver. In this paper, we propose an optimized processing scheme for the single receiver DVB-T passive radar. We carry out Monte-Carlo simulations to assess the performances of the single receiver configuration, and we present real-data results to validate the proposed scheme.
