In multistatic passive radar systems, the Cramér–Rao lower bound (CRLB) can be used to select the optimal illuminator of opportunity so that it provides the best estimation accuracy for target parameters. In this Letter, the monostatic and bistatic modified Cramér–Rao lower bound (MCRLB) for the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) signal, which is the pervasive digital television signal of opportunity for North American passive radar systems, is derived using the relationship between the ambiguity function of a signal and its CRLB. It is shown that the derived bistatic MCRLB for the range and velocity measurements can be used to select the optimal illuminator that exhibits the lowest bounds at each region. Examples are provided in the Columbus, OH area where the Ohio State University passive radar is located.
