Patent ID: 8723721

Claim:
A multistatic radar system comprising a command and control unit configured to control configuration of transmitters and receivers via command links and process detection information produced by the receivers, wherein: at least one transmitter of the transmitters is configured to transmit, on a common frequency band substantially equal to a frequency band B allocated to the multistatic radar system, a signal modulated according to a modulation law which supports a binary code specific to the at least one transmitter, at least one receiver of the receivers is adapted to the frequency band B, and is configured to receive the transmitted signal from the at least one transmitter, decode the received signal, and identify, based on the binary code supported by the received signal, that the at least one transmitter is the source of the received signal, and the binary code is supported by coding applied to a waveform of the transmitted signal that has a spread spectrum that does not exceed the frequency band B allocated to the multistatic radar system.
