IEEE 802.22 Passive Radars: Multistatic Detection and Velocity Profiler

This work focuses on a passive coherent location (PCL) systemthat exploits the signals emitted by IEEE 802.22 devices, referredhereafter as a white-space PCL (WS-PCL) system. To cope with thevery low transmitted equivalent isotropically radiated power of theIEEE 802.22 emitters, we focus on the design of a WS-PCL systemthat exploits all the useful signals, emitted from both the base stationand customer-premises equipment, received in each frame. In thiswork, we study the feasibility of a WS-PCL system by deriving thereceiver operating characteristic and defining the multistatic velocityprofiling algorithm for the estimation of the target velocity vector.The performance of the proposed receiver is compared to that of aWS-PCL system that exploits only the signal emitted by the basestation.
