Popis: A passive bistatic radar comprising an illumination source and two antennas for receiving the direct signal from the illumination source and a mixture of signals scattered by moving objects is considered. The problem of estimating the amplitudes, delays, and Doppler shifts of scattered signals is formulated as the problem of minimizing the residual of an overdetermined system of linear algebraic equations. An additional condition is imposed on the unknown amplitude to provide sparsity of the desired signal amplitudes in the delay-Doppler shift coordinates. The problem is solved by the variational method. The method was successfully tested using real data.
