USING FREQUENCY DIVERSITY TO DETECT OBJECTS

Technologies for detecting a passive object through the use of frequency diversity to find at least a resonant peak are disclosed. For example, a radar system may illuminate a suspect area with a pulsed radio wave based on a large number of frequency bands and based on parameters associated with the passive object. The reflected radio wave may be processed to generate synthetic aperture radar (SAR) maps associated with the frequency bands. The SAR maps may be analyzed and compared to determine large deviation amplitudes that may indicate a location of the passive object.
