It offers decisive operational advantages: it cannot be located due to the absence of any transmitted energy and it does not need any emissions from targets to locate them. Systems using only one transmitter and one receiver will tend to be much less accurate than conventional surveillance radars, whilst Advocates of the technology cite the following advantages: <> Instead, the receiver uses third-party transmitters in the environment, and measures the time difference of arrival between the signal arriving directly from the transmitter and the signal arriving via reflection from the object.

Having associated these returns, the point at which the bistatic range ellipses from each transmitter intersect is the location of the target.

The first radar experiments in the Early radars were all bistatic because the technology to enable an antenna to be switched from transmit to receive mode had not been developed. For example, the British deployed the Bistatic radar systems gave way to monostatic systems with the development of the One of the largest and most complex passive radar systems was the UK's The rise of cheap computing power and digital receiver technology in the 1980s led to a resurgence of interest in passive radar technology. 0000009028 00000 n %PDF-1.4
