Abstract
The initial analysis of data collected during the airborne experiments has demonstrated airborne passive radar operation, using commercial FM radio signals as illuminators of opportunity, and these are believed to be the first results of this kind. The results have highlighted several practical techniques for improving the system performance: using multiple perspectives, optimal illuminator modulation bandwidth, and multiple looks over time.
