A Unifying Approach for Disturbance Cancellation and Target Detection in Passive Radar Using OFDM.

This paper addresses the problem of mobile target detection in multipath scenarios with a passive radar using DVB-T transmitters of opportunity. For such emissions, it has been shown the interest in implementing “mismatched” correlators, reducing both the zero Doppler contribution (ZDC) masking effects and the false alarm rate. A very efficient mismatched reference signal is obtained with the reci...
