Abstract :
Passive Radar systems employing different types of donors provide varying performance capabilities due to the illuminator signal properties and transmitter characteristics. Here, a hybrid, multi-frequency Passive Radar concept is proposed based on real world experiences with experimental systems, which join the advantageous properties of the components for optimum performance.
