A method for improving range resolution in passive radar system is to jointly use more than one transmission channel of the same illuminator of opportunity (IO). This paper specifically focuses on the exploitation of multiple adjacent digital video broadcasting-terrestrial (DVB-T) channels for achieving high-range resolution profiles with a passive radar system operating in air surveillance scenario. Firstly, we present an analysis of the ambiguity function obtained from a multichannel DVB-T source and a pre-processing technique able to improve the characteristics of the multichannel signal are presented. Afterwards, the experimental scenario is defined and detection results on aerial targets are shown.
