Air target detection with a GPS forward-scattering radar

Abstract

Forward scattering radar (FSR), as a specially configured bistatic radar, is provided with the capabilities of air target detection by using the GPS signal shadow. This paper discusses the experimental results obtained by GPS receiver near to Sofia airport. This research aims to demonstrate the feasibility of the Forward Scattering GPS system to detect air targets.
