Abstract

In this paper we evaluate the fifth generation (5G) communication signal from the perspective of radar sensing. The passive radars exploit the third-part transmitted signals in the space as the illuminators of opportunity (IoO), and has gained renewed interest. The 5G signal has large bandwidth and advanced modulation technique, offering great potential for radar uses. This paper takes an analysis of the 5G signal from the perspective of radar sensing. We provide a detailed description of the 5G signal protocol, and evaluate the detection capability of the 5G signal based passive radar in terms of bistatic range resolution, range resolution, the signal to noise ratio distribution. Furthermore, we introduce a signal processing method that may be a candidate for target sensing in the 5G signal based passive radar. Simulation verifies the effectiveness of this method.
