Dr. Melissa Meyer will be giving a presentation on the design of her passive radar to the IEEE on March 18, from 7-8 PM, in M&M U113.

Dr. Meyer will talk about her Rock 'n Roll Radar -- otherwise known as a passive, commercial FM-based radar -- and explain how it works, how it was built, and how to interpret its output. She'll show a few examples of real data, then open up the floor for questions.

Passive radars operate without a transmitter, instead using available transmitters such as FM broadcast radio (in this case). For more info you can read the Wikipedia article:
