Abstract :
This paper describes the simulation approach and model for a software tool used to analyze passive radar scenarios. A database of known transmitters includes more than 250,000 sources from FM radio, digital television, cellular, and aeronautical radio-navigation aids. Terrain is considered using digital elevation maps and the Irregular Terrain Model. The tool calculates the expected detection and localization performance for PBR receivers, and can be used to guide receiver design.
