A study of passive aircraft surveillance using signal delay profile

The current Air Traffic Management (ATM) uses various radio equipment. The radar is the one of important system and the recent ATM uses a combination of several radar systems. However, the conventional Primary Surveillance Radar have a high cost of maintenance and operation. Recently, Multi-Static Primary Surveillance Radar (MSPSR) has attracted interest from the civil aviation research field. In this paper, we show the experimental results of aircraft positioning using signal delay profile and we describe the potential of the aircraft surveillance using our proposed method.
