Passive radar

Passive radar is a type of radar system which uses one or more receivers, but lacks an active transmitter. The system detects ambient radio signals emanating from nearby radio transmitters. The receiver is either bistatic or multistatic, since it is positioned elsewhere. The system is not restricted to one receiver—several receiver systems may be operated in conjunction with one or many transmitters.
