Abstract In this paper the practical feasibility of a WiFi transmissions based passive bistatic radar (PBR) is analyzed. The required data processing steps are described there including the adopted techniques for: (i) the control of the signal Ambiguity Function usually yielding a high sidelobe level and (ii) the removal of the undesired signal contributions which strongly limit the useful dynamic range. The performance of the conceived system is evaluated with reference to typical signals broadcasted by a IEEE 802.11 access point exploiting an OFDM modulation. The achievable results are presented against a real data set collected by an experimental setup. This allowed us to preliminarily demonstrate the potentialities of a WiFi-based PBR for local area surveillance applications. |
