Summary:
The current Air Traffic Management (ATM) uses various radio equipment. The radar is the one of important system and the recent ATM uses a combination of several radar systems. However, the conventional Primary Surveillance Radar have a high cost of maintenance and operation. Recently, Multi-Static Primary Surveillance Radar (MSPSR) has attracted interest from the civil aviation research field. The MSPSR is classified into passive bistatic radar (PBR).In this paper, we discussed receiver side direction finding method (DF) for the passive PSR system. This method is required for MSPSR. We show the DF method based on interferometer and experimental results, and we discussed the potential of DF for the passive PSR system.
