Passive radiolocation
Abstract
The application of passive radar systems to military technology is outlined. Passive methods of target detection by ultrahigh radiowave propagation are examined. The following topics are discussed: (1) passive radar systems from reception of thermal radio emission signals; (2) high frequency amplifiers of passive radar systems; (3) reception methods of thermal radio emission signals; (4) passive aircraft detection by the emission of onboard radar transmitters; (5) passive detection of ICBM's; (6) passive detection of submerged submarines.
