Investigation on Plot-Based Localization and Tracking in Multi-Static Passive Radars

This study introduces a novel approach for target localization and tracking in passive radar systems, emphasizing the direct utilization of plots without the intermediate step of bistatic tracking filter application. This methodology aims to enhance the probability of early target detection, particularly in scenarios characterized by low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) levels. The paper delves into the implications of this method on the probability of target detection and the likelihood of false track generation. Through comprehensive simulations, we demonstrate that the proposed technique improves the detection probability in challenging environments and maintains a manageable rate of false tracks.
