Breakthroughs in Passive Radar Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Passive radar has been quite an active field of research for several years. The technology has been established through many demonstrations and there are now industrial solutions ready for commercialization. The deep understanding of the potentials and drawbacks we have gained opens new frontiers for applications of passive radar technology. Among the most promising are: (i) the miniaturization of hardware, which makes it possible to mount systems onboard small, eventually automated, vehicles; (ii) the increasing demand for easily deployable drone detection systems; (iii) the increasing availability of new technologies from fixed-satellite services such as Starlink and OneWeb and from terrestrial 5G networks.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect papers that cover recent advances in passive radar systems, techniques, and applications, including (but not limited to):

- Passive radar imaging;

- Multi-channel passive radar signal processing;

- Satellite-based passive radar;

- 5G as a technology for passive radar;

- Micro-Doppler signatures in passive radar;

- Drone detection solutions based on passive radar;

- Deep learning for passive radar processing.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
