Abstract:
The paper considers the concept of a Global Position System (GPS) shadow Forward-Scatter Radar (FSR) for detection of air targets at short distances. This paper discusses the experimental results obtained after processing the GPS signals received near the airport in Sofia, Bulgaria. This research aims to demonstrate the ability to automatically detect low-flying aircrafts by a Forward Scattering GPS system. The other goal of this article is to study and estimate different types of GPS shadows created by aircrafts of different sizes and shapes.
