Bistatic Radar
Use bistaticTransmitter and bistaticReceiver to simulate bistatic radar systems that have separate
transmitter and receiver elements that are not co-located. You can simulate a bistatic
radar that supports synchronous, asynchronous, and multiple transmitter and receiver
pairs. Use bistaticFreeSpacePath to calculate the free space propagation paths for
a bistatic transmitter and receiver. Use bistaticConstantSNR to plot bistatic constant signal-to-noise ratio
contours or surfaces.
Featured Examples
Non-Cooperative Bistatic Radar I/Q Simulation and Processing
Simulate I/Q samples for a non-cooperative passive bistatic radar system that has two different signals of opportunity.
Cooperative Bistatic Radar I/Q Simulation and Processing
Simulate I/Q for a cooperative bistatic system and perform subsequent signal processing for a single bistatic transmitter and receiver pair.
Parallel Simulation of Target, Clutter, and Interference Signals
Simulate clutter and interference using bistaticTransmitter and
bistaticReceiver to model both halves of a monostatic radar and
speeds up the simulation using parallel processing.
Track Targets Using Asynchronous Bistatic Radars
Builds upon the Tracking Using Bistatic Range Detections example and shows how to configure a multi-sensor multi-target tracker to track targets using asynchronous bistatic radars that report range and angles. Bistatic sensors are advantageous because the emitter part and the receiver part of the sensor are not collocated, which makes the receivers less detectable. Additionally, they allows many receivers to work with a single emitter. Therefore, bistatic sensors are becoming more common in various applications where it is beneficial to hide the receivers or reduce the amount of energy they consume.
Passive Bistatic Radar Performance Assessment
Evaluate the performance of a passive bistatic radar using a typical FM radio transmitter as the illuminator of opportunity.
