		Passive radar systems (also referred to a passive coherent location and passive covert radar) encompass a class of radar systems that detect and track objects by processing reflections from non-cooperative sources of illumination in the environment, such as commercial broadcast and communications signals.
		Passive radar accuracy is a strong function of the deployment geometry and the number of receivers and transmitters being used.
		Most passive radars are two-dimensional, but height measurements are possible when the deployment is such there is significant variation in the altitudes of the transmitters, receiver and target, reducing the effects of geometrical dilution of precision (GDOP).

	Radar Detector Legal - Radar Detector Law
		Radar Detectors - The Operation of a radar detector and or laser detector is legal in every state with the exception of Virginia and Washington DC.
		It is illegal to use a radar detector and or laser detector while on a military base or in a commercial vehicle weighing over 10,000 pounds.
		A: Active jammers send a signal to jam radar and or laser guns while passive jammers claim they simply scramble the incoming signal that is attempting to obtain your speed before it is sent back to the radar and or laser gun attempting to read your speed.

	Bistatic radar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bistatic radar is the name given to a radar system which comprises a transmitter and receiver which are separated by a distance that is comparable to the expected target distance.
		Conversely, a radar in which the transmitter and receiver are collocated is called a monostatic radar.
		For example, some very long range HF radar systems may have a transmitter and receiver which are separated by a few tens of kilometres for reasons for electrical isolation, but as the expected target range is of the order 1000-3500km, they are not considered to be truly bistatic and are referred to as pseudo-monostatic.

	Possible Application of Passive Radar for Tornadoe Detection (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Doppler Radar has the source and receiver located on the same platform (monostatic condition) or on two different platforms (bistatic condition) and measures the speed of the wind rotating in the funnel of a tornado, as well as the speed of its propagation.
		The same passive radar array could likely be used to map the approach and passage of a tornado, although signal intensity may be more important than the signal time of reception as data from which a tornado detection algorithm would be created.
		However, passive radar may not be able to tell the difference between funnel clouds in the air from those that have touched the ground, a constraint shared by Doppler radar.

	RX12874 Passive Detection ECCM system
		The air defence requirement in UK in the early 1950's was for a system alongside the main conventional radars which would be able to detect and locate individual 'jamming' targets in a mass raid, the majority of which were also jamming, with the same discrimination in range, bearing and height as the 'active' radar.
		The controller could then reduce the radar gain on his display to suppress the jamming signal and vector a fighter on to the jammer using IFF paints and the symbol representing the jammer.
		Each of the radar sites fed their signals into the Air Defence Data Centre at West Drayton where there was not only equipment to control all (but one) baselines simultaneously but also the mechanism to disseminate the detected jammers to the CRCs or CRPs as tracks.

	Ukraine Radar/Stealth Detection Systems Sold To Iran
		The relatively cheap Ukrainian Kolchuga radar station, which is able to detect and identify practically all known active radio devices mounted on ground, airborne, or marine objects, actually cancels out all those billions of dollars spent on stealth-based armaments.
		And when the newly independent Ukraine that had only just survived a severe economic crisis, developed an advanced passive radiolocation complex, it was a severe blow to the Americans, who were so sure of their domination in the air thanks to their stealth planes.
		Besides, an attacking object detected by a passive radar is never aware of its detection and so has no reasons to activate its own defenses.

	Get the Facts on Radar Detectors
		Rocky Mountain Radar produces what is called a “passive radar scrambler”, but they call it a radar jammer, because the phrase “radar jammer” has for a long time implied a very effective device.
		When radar is triggered from a radar gun, it travels down the highway as an invisible wave and is referred to as the RF signal.
		When the RF signal strikes the car/truck, it also strikes the passive scrambler and the reflection is now called the Doppler Signal, since it changes frequency somewhat as a result of the reflection.

	GLOSSARY P
		RADAR CROSS SECTION by designing the target surface so that the reflected radar signal from a part of the target cancels the reflected radar signal from another part of the target.
		The polarization signature of a target is proportional to the radar scattering cross section of the target as a function of the angles of polarization of the illuminating and reflected radiation.
		PRIMARY RADAR - A radar in which the return signals are the echoes obtained by reflection from the target.

	Radar Jammer Test from Automobile Magazine - Escort Inc.
		In contrast, a passive jammer transmits nothing but is somehow expected to jam a sophisticated radar with a minuscule amount of reflected energy.
		From Advanced Radar Components in San Diego, the Interceptor (now called the Evader) is a complex unit that depends on two oscillators (one each for X- and K-band), a sixteen-bit microprocessor, and two large and efficient-looking cast waveguide antennas.
		Radar detectors and other Escort products purchased from unauthorized resellers are subject to these unauthorized reseller risks.

	Technic - German Naval Radar - Part 3, Radar Designation
		When the family of German radar sets began to grow this was found to be insufficient, and arabic numbers were introduced, 100 to 199 being reserved for naval tactical sets working on a wavelength of 80cm.
		Even a simplified listing of radar type designations, with their technical particulars, would require a intensive research in German and foreign archives, and the interviewing of surviving witnesses by a researcher export in both radio technology and naval history.
		Among them was, presumably, a report on radar (possibly including drawings and photographs of the sets in surviving German naval units), copies of which are probably buried somewhere in the US and British archives.

	Matt Simerson - Rocky Mountain Radar Scam
		An active radar jammer continually scans for police radar; once it detects a signal, it returns a low-power, variable signal that effectively "blanks" the police radar.
		Passive jammers are suppose to re-radiate the radar signal after distorting it (adding noise and/or rapidly shifting frequency) in such a way the true target reflection is masked by the distorted signal.
		On 4 December 1997 the FCC ruled passive jammers violate federal regulations because the jammers radiate RF (Radio Frequency) energy that (or is intended to) adversely affect the ability of law enforcement officials to protect public safety on the highways.

	Cellphone 'radar' tracks traffic flow - 27 October 2003 - New Scientist
		Conventional radar works by transmitting a signal, listening for the reflection and using the time taken for the round trip to work out the object's distance.
		Instead of broadcasting its own signal, a passive radar system listens in to the cacophony of radio signals in the environment and monitors the way moving objects change them.
		Another advantage of passive systems is their ability to spot "stealthy" aircraft and ships, which are designed to fool conventional radar systems by absorbing signals or reflecting them away from the source.
