Abstract :
We discuss the development of single site passive radar interferometry for the RAPID (Radio Array of Portable Interferometric Detectors) project and its application to the detection of meteor trails. We utilize antennas developed for the low frequency portion of the square kilometer array (SKALA) which are zenith pointing and cover the FM band.
