In this paper, the feasibility of a bistatic passive system for maritime surveillance and marine navigation is considered based on the communication satellite constellation Inmarsat as a source of illuminating signals. A power budget analysis is detailed for Inmarsat signals, considering both the reference and the radar channels. The effect of sea clutter is also examined. It is shown that relatively poor range resolution can be improved if the available communication channels are combined to improve the bandwidth, a process that also improves the sensitivity. For the first time, detection and preliminary bistatic range-Doppler tracking are presented for a representative maritime target.
