This paper proposes a novel aerial target passive sensing method based on linear canonical transformation (LCT) using the forward scattered satellite communication waveforms. The proposed method firstly preprocesses the received signal based on the characteristics of the traditional satellite tracking loop and the forward scattered satellite communication waveforms to effectively suppress the interference of the direct wave through DC removal. Then, the Gaussian noise and multipath interference in the channel are suppressed by applying a rectangular window to its linear canonical domain. Finally, aerial target sensing is performed based on the peak value of signals in the linear canonical transform domain. The characteristic signal is constructed by analyzing the satellite communication waveforms. Combining the linear canonical transform with the matched filter (MF) to estimate the target parameter. Simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively perform the aerial target sensing by using satellite communication waveforms in the forward scatter scenario.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14061375","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,13]],"date-time":"2022-03-13T21:44:17Z","timestamp":1647207857000},"page":"1375","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Forward Scatter Radar Meets Satellite: Passive Sensing of Aerial Target Using Satellite Communication Waveforms"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9872-9710","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingqian","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenju","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Yunfei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK"}]},{"given":"Shifei","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]},{"given":"Jianhua","family":"Ge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"808","DOI":"10.1109\/LGRS.2011.2182176","article-title":"Cross-range SAR Reconstruction with Multicarrier OFDM Signals","volume":"9","author":"Garmatyuk","year":"2012","journal-title":"IEEE Geosci.
