Space debris detection over intersatellite communication signals
Acta Astronautica, 2021 In this paper, we apply a space-borne radar and communications (SBRC) concept for detecting space debris over signals that are designed solely for communication purposes. By using a hidden capability of intersatellite communications signals to act as a radar signal as well, we propose a new approach for debris detection that can be used to address the ...
