== Abstract ==

A conventional active radar system has the ability to detect and track objects of
interest, however in a combat situation, the location of the transmitter may be traced
by the enemy. A passive radar system exploits a variety of non-cooperative illuminators
to act as the transmitter, allowing the receiver to remain hidden. This project works
with industry partners Lockheed Martin Australia (LMA) to develop a passive radar
system exploiting Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) signals. The proposed targets of
this system are aircraft, and potentially the International Space Station (ISS). This
will be achieved by constructing a 5 channel receiver, combined with a custom RSP.
The tracks obtained from these targets will be compared with an appropriate ground
truth to verify the accuracy of the system. The system will be designed to deal with
issues common to passive radar systems such as signal clutter and DSI. The results will
be used to further demonstrate the practicality of passive radar systems using DVB
transmissions, and to provide a logical approach for the detection of aircraft and the
ISS using these signals.
