Abstract

In this letter, we use the known pseudorandom noise (PN) signal in the digital television terrestrial multimedia broadcasting (DTMB) system as a new illuminator of opportunity for the passive radar. We propose a computationally efficient signal processing method for the PN-based passive radar (PNPR). The proposed method takes advantage of the distinctive structure of the PN signal and constructs a locally remapped PN signal. The circular cross-correlation between the remapped PN signal and the original PN signal is an ideal impulse function. Thus, the PNPR even does not need to do the clutter cancellation. The proposed method is validated via both the simulated and experimental data.
