In this study, a new passive method suitable for geolocating low probability of intercept (LPI) radars is introduced. The method uses two electronic support receivers placed on a fast moving platform (e.g., an airplane or a satellite). The proposed method has a high processing gain, which makes it highly suitable for very weak LPI signals. The method processing gain was analytically derived and illustrated with simulation to determine if the proposed method can detect LPI radars in much lower SNRs compared to regular time–frequency LPI detection methods. Also, the resolution of the proposed method in both range and cross-range directions in radar location finding was analyzed. The results showed that the method is capable of radar location finding for complex radars and in complicated electromagnetic environments.
