Abstract: The present invention relates to the general field of radar tracking applied to multi-static radar systems. It consists of a method for coherently merging the individual tracks generated from the various bistatic bases that make up the system so as to generate and maintain global tracks so that an object detected by a single bistatic base is represented by the corresponding track and an object detected by a number of bistatic bases and giving rise to the creation of a number of individual tracks is represented only by a single global track.

Abstract: A signal processing method performs operations of coherent processing making it possible notably to purge the useful signal of the spurious signals (in particular the reference signal and its multiple reflections), to regenerate the transmission signal and to perform a coherent integration of the signal received by computing the cross-ambiguity between the signal received and the regenerated transmission signal. It also performs operations of non-coherent processing making it possible in particular to carry out extraction and Doppler distance purification operations making it possible to form blips and to eliminate the spurious blips present among the blips formed. The method applies notably to passive radars operating on non-cooperating opportunity transmissions, such as FM transmissions intended for the public.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the resolving of the problems associated with the passive location of targets in TOA (Time of Arrival) or TDOA (Time Difference of Arrivals) mode. The method of passively locating a target in TOA or TDOA mode implements a meshing (subdivision) into blocks of the space in which the location area is situated. The set of the blocks that form this mesh is analyzed iteratively. On each iteration, each block of interest is subdivided into smaller identical subblocks. A block of interest is, according to the invention, a block including at least one point belonging to the location area being sought for which the shape is to be determined. The iterative process is stopped when the size of the subblocks obtained on the current iteration corresponds to the desired resolution. The invention applies in particular to the 2D or 3D location systems that include TOA and TDOA modes or mixed modes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of passive radars, and more particularly the field of the processing of the signals utilized by such radars. The signal processing method received according to one or more embodiments of the invention performs coherent processing, in order to purge spurious signals from the useful signal, including the reference signal and its multiple reflections, to regenerate the transmission signal and to perform a coherent integration of the signal received, by computing the cross-ambiguity between the signal received and the regenerated transmission signal. One or more embodiments of the invention also performs operations of non-coherent processing making it possible in particular to carry out extraction and Doppler distance purification operations making it possible to form blips and to eliminate the spurious blips present among the blips formed.
