Removal of Cochannel Interference Using Probabilistic Latent Component Analysis in Passive Bistatic Radar

This paper examines the problem of cancellation of cochannel interference (CCI) present in the same frequency channel as the signal of interest, which may bring a reduction in the performance of target detection, in passive bistatic radar. We propose a novel approach based on probabilistic latent component analysis for CCI removal. The highlight is that removing CCI is considered as reconstruction, and extraction of Doppler-shifted and time-delayed replicas of the reference signal exploited fully as training data. The results of the simulation show that the developed method is effective.
