Analysis of CMMB signal for passive radar detection

Abstract

This paper studies the feasibility of using China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting (CMMB) signal for passive radar detection. The research focuses on the analysis of CMMB signal properties which include signal structure, spectrum analysis, target resolution, ambiguity function and reduction of side lobes. Since CMMB signal has wide bandwidth and high power in its coverage area, it has great advantages in passive radar application. Experimental results show the performance and potential capability of CMMB based passive radar in target detection.
