De-ghosting and target extraction algorithm analysis for the PCL-PET fusion system

The topic of data fusion on the level of plots in a multistatic, multiband netted radar is widely recognized as a topic of interest in the radar community. PCL-PET system currently under development in PIT-RADWAR S.A. is an example of such approach. Earlier analyses have shown, that unique capabilities provided by the two types of the passive sensors will greatly enchance parameters of the combined sensor. The plot correlation and de-ghosting algorithm has proven to be the most computationally complex problem in the PCL-PET fusion. In this paper we present some remarks concerning the nature of this computational complexity along with results of simulations showing complexity scaling with the changing simulation parameters. We also present our simulation software being developed for further analysis of the topic.
