This paper illustrates a prototype of Passive Bistatic Radar (PBR) system that uses FM radio transmitter as the Source of Illuminator. Software Defined Radio (SDR) approach is used to simulate and implement the Radar. SDR Board is used to receive the direct signal and the reflected signal from the target by means of Yagi-Uda Antenna. Signal processing operations are performed offline over the direct and reflected signal in order to detect the presence of the target and estimate the target range and speed. In order to analyse the performance of the proposed SDR based passive bistatic radar, MATLAB simulation is used with predefined target settings.

SDR Board is used to receive the direct signal and the reflected signal from the target by means of Yagi-Uda Antenna.

In order to analyse the performance of the proposed SDR based passive bistatic radar, MATLAB simulation is used with predefined target settings.
