Abstract

The observation of objects residing at Earth orbit is of fundamental importance from the military and civil point of view. This paper investigates the feasibility of a DVBS2 passive bistatic radar for detection of resident space objects (RSOs) in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). An experiment set-up will be introduced and the main features of DVB-S2 signal will be analysed. An echo target signal related to the International Space Station (ISS) will be emulated from an experimentally acquired reference signal and the related range-Doppler map will be calculated to assess the expected detection results. This work should be considered preliminary to a RSO detection test to be performed with a DVB-S2 passive bistatic radar.
