A particular variant on the bistatic and multistatic themes is Passive Coherent Location (PCL). This is normally taken to mean a system where transmissions are provided by a third party and only the receiver is formerly part of the design. This is sometimes also referred to as a hitch hiking mode of operation. It is also usually referred to as an example of bistatic radar although, as we shall see later, many transmissions can be used from a variety of transmitter sites thus making an example of multistatic radar.
