Abstract

A bistatic radar system requires accurate synchronization between the transmitter and the remote receiver in order to achieve a correct coherent target detection and positioning. An unlinked receiver carrier phase/frequency synchronization method, from the radiated pulsed signal of a remote radar transmitter when its antenna beam illuminates the receiver, is presented. A modified discrete conception of the phase locked loop (PLL) technique is used, based on the special properties of the signal to be recovered
