Passive Positioning of Flying Object With Microwave Signals From LEO Satellites: Concept and Preliminary Simulation Results

Along with the deployment of low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations for global Internet services, Ku, Ka or V band microwave signals will be available from space anywhere on Earth. Utilizing the signals, a new approach to positioning flying objects passively is proposed, and a diffraction mo...
