Abstract ■

Passive radars based on DVB-t transmissions can benefit from the outstanding advantages that compressed sensing offers in terms of less acquired data, hence potentially reducing hardware requirements, and achieving reconstructed scene simplification. Adequate signal modeling enables sparse scene reconstructions which can be complemented with side information from previously known scene conditions and, thus, further reducing the amount of required data to achieve similar performances or even improve them.
