Abstract

Forward Scatter GPS (FS-GPS) radio shadows obtained from different objects are investigated in this article. FS radio shadow is essential physical phenomenon, which can be used to extract some useful information about the objects that generate it. Registration of FS-GPS radio shadows from moving and stationary objects is performed using a small commercial GPS antenna and mobile and stationary receiver. Topology of the experiment meets the requirements for the appearance of the FS effect. The results presented in this article show that from FS-GPS radio shadows of different objects can be extracted information about the parameters of the object (size, speed and direction of movement, distance to the receiver). The information obtained can be used in various applications like those in classic radar, including radio barriers, security, classification and identification of moving and stationary objects.
