Abstract

This paper examines the joint moving target parameter estimation in hybrid active and passive radar networks with sensors placed on moving platforms, which are composed of one dedicated linear frequency modulated (LFM)-based active radar transmitter, multiple frequency modulated (FM)-based illuminators of opportunity, and multichannel radar receivers. Firstly, target returns contributed from the active radar transmitter and multiple illuminators of opportunity are adopted to fulfill the radar purpose, resulting in a hybrid active and passive radar networks. Then, the CRLB for joint target parameter estimation is derived as the performance metric for the underlying system. Finally, the numerical results show that, the achievable CRLB can be decreased by exploiting the signals scattered off the target due to illuminators of opportunity transmissions.
