Abstract

In this work, a multistage target motion compensation solution for long integration times and the direction of arrival processing in geostationary-satellite-based passive radars is presented. Long integration processing intervals are considered to compensate for the associated propagation loss, but during this time target dynamics can extend the backscattering in more than one range or Doppler cell. To control the gain-processing reduction, a combination of detection, tracking, feature extraction, and filtering techniques is designed to provide automatic adaptation to each unknown target dynamic in the area of interest. The proposed methodology is validated with real data acquired by the passive radar demonstrator developed by the University of Alcalá (IDEPAR), and the results confirm that target monitoring exploiting digital video broadcasting-satellite (DVB-S) signals is clearly improved.
