An experimental WiMAX based passive radar study

Singapore has launched the world's first maritime WiMAX service network which also has introduced a new illuminator of opportunity for passive radar study. This paper presents a new study of passive radar using WiMAX signals. In this paper, the WiMAX standards, WiMAX-based passive radar demonstrator design based on a MIMO-OFDM testbed, and a primary field measurement for detecting ground vehicle are described. Interesting field measurement results may help us to understand the potential capabilities of WiMAX-based passive radar for range and Doppler detection and measurement of moving targets.
