Claim 10:
11. A method for generating target radar data via a passive radar receiver system, the method comprising:
switching a first antenna to a receiver chain of the passive radar receiver system to generate first radar signal data associated with a combined wireless signal comprising a wireless source signal and a reflected signal during a first time, the wireless source signal being generated by a transmitter in a region of interest and the reflected signal being the wireless source signal reflected from a target in the region of interest;
monitoring the first radar signal data during the first time to detect a portion of the wireless source signal;
switching a second antenna to the receiver chain of the passive radar receiver system to generate second radar signal data associated with the combined wireless signal during a second time;
generating source signal data associated with the wireless source signal and reflected signal data associated with the reflected signal based on the first and second radar signal data during the first and second times; and
generating the target radar data associated with the target in the region of interest based on the source signal data and the reflected signal data.
