Several types of passive receivers can be used to detect radar emissions over considerable distances. Previous work has been performed which compares the detectability of bi-phase waveforms to a classic rectangular pulse. It is also of interest to compare the detectability of equal-bandwidth/equal-energy FMCW, quadriphase, and polyphase waveforms. The quadriphase waveform is the quadriphase version of the bi-phase Welti code. The polyphase waveforms are the PI, P2, P3, and P4 codes. Relative detection ranges are predicted using a simulation of the square-law, wideband crystal video, and channelized passive receivers possessing typical bandwidth, noise-floor, and loss parameters. A comparison is given showing the relative LPI/LPD attributes of each waveform and the relative detection attributes of each receiver.
