Development of Optical Fiber Connected Passive Primary Surveillance Radar

Abstract

Recently, study of Multi-Static Primary Surveillance Radar (MSPSR) which is expected to be used as the next generation primary surveillance radar (PSR) has been active in the filed of aircraft surveillance. MSPSR is one of passive radar which combine multiple receivers and/or transmitters, and many research and development projects are progressing with various radio system as transmitter source.

Electronic Navigation Research Institute (ENRI) developed an optical fiber connected passive primary surveillance radar (OFC-PPSR) for the effective use of frequency band and the current PSR system enhancement. In this paper, we present the introduction of OFC-PPSR and the preliminary evaluation results of the OFC-PPSR system.
