Multistatic Radar System Concept Based on GPS Signal Processing

Shipping traffic monitoring in coastal waters by a bistatic radar system based on satellite signals illumination makes possible to control and ensure the safety of everyday human activities. In this paper, we describe the results of an experimental study of a bistatic radar monitoring system of shipping using the L1 satellite signal of the GPS navigation system as an illumination signal. To increase the energy of the reflected signal from objects and the accuracy of detection in a radar system based on satellite illumination signals we suggest a multi-position radar system concept.
