An innovative bistatic radar system, that couples multi-beaming and ranging techniques, is proposed in this work as an instrument for the observation of Earth-orbiting objects. The main characteristics of the sensor are described. In addition, tailored algorithms have been implemented to perform orbit determination using the peculiar outputs provided by the sensor. The results of numerical simulations are illustrated to assess its performances for space debris detection and orbit determination.STAMPAenConference paper10.1109/MetroAeroSpace.2015.71807192-s2.0-84941350018https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/conhome/7159155/proceedinghttps://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7180719FIS/06 - FISICA PER IL SISTEMA TERRA E IL MEZZO CIRCUMTERRESTREScienze Fisiche Settori ERC (ERC) di riferimento::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_17 Instrumentation – telescopes, detectors and techniques
