Abstract

In the case of multipath propagation for passive bistatic radar (PBR) using uncooperative frequency agile-phased array radar as an illuminator, a new direction-finding method is proposed to deal with the scenario where the coherent and uncorrelated signals are closely spaced or in the same direction. Firstly, spatial difference technique is used to eliminate uncorrelated signals. Then, in order to avoid the cross-terms effect and improve the resolution of coherent signal, the iterative adaptive method (IAA) is adopted for the rearranged spatial difference matrix. Finally, the direction of arrival (DOA) of the target signal is obtained by the reconstruction of the interference-plus-noise covariance matrix. Compared with previous studies, this method has better performance in the case of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and limited number of snapshots.
