Nowadays most of modern digital TV and broadcast systems adopt a novel network technology, namely single frequency network (SFN). In SFN the same data stream is broadcasted from multiple transmitters in the same frequency band. Thus SFN-based passive radar (SPR) could generate multiple simultaneous measurements from the same target, introducing a measurement-to-transmitter association ambiguity (MTAA). False association could lead to ghosts. In this paper, we present a solvability analysis for MTAA under 2-dimensional (2-D) space and well-separated targets case. The purpose of this solvability analysis is to obtain the simplest sufficient condition for resolving MTAA. Besides, an association hypothesis decision (AHD) method is proposed for deghosting. Numerical simulations demonstrate that AHD is an effective method against ghosts under the SPR scenario.
