Polarimetric detection scheme for passive radar based on a 2D auto-regressive disturbance model
Suitable strategies to exploit polarimetric diversity have been proved to be able to enhance the target detection capability of passive radar (or passive coherent location - PCL) systems. In this work, the authors describe a novel polarimetric adaptive detection scheme, based on a two-dimensional autoregressive model for the disturbance. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy is shown against experimental data collected by means of a FM radio based multi-channel PCL prototype.
