Experimental results of the PaRaDe passive radar field trials

Abstract

In this paper the results obtained during the trials of the PaRaDe (Passive Radar Demonstrator) are presented. The PaRaDe is a passive radar based on FM radio transmitters developed at Warsaw University of Technology. The targets observed during the trials involved highly maneuvering military targets and commercial airliners. The detection results were compared with data acquired with a Mode-S/ADS-B receiver and an active radar.
