研究目的
To propose a novel GMT range model and a novel Doppler ambiguity-tolerated GMT imaging algorithm based on modified keystone transform for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging of ground moving targets (GMTs), especially when Doppler ambiguity occurs.
研究成果
The paper concludes that the proposed new range model and modified keystone transform effectively address the challenges in GMTIm, particularly in RCMC and azimuth pulse compression, even in the presence of Doppler ambiguity. The experimental results validate the algorithm's performance, showing well-focused GMT images. However, the model's precision is identified as an area for future improvement.
研究不足
The proposed model's precision can be improved, and the study acknowledges that the model error, although small, may affect azimuth focusing under certain conditions. The Doppler centroid estimation precision and the azimuth chirp rate accuracy are critical for the success of the RCMC and azimuth pulse compression, respectively.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study proposes a new GMT range model and a Doppler ambiguity-tolerated RCMC method using a modified keystone transform. The methodology includes differential RCMC and bulk RCMC, with keystone transform modified for nonzero linear phase interpolation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The effectiveness of the proposed model and imaging method is demonstrated using both simulated and real airborne SAR data, including data of a point-like target, a truck calculated by RadBase, and real airborne SAR data.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study involves SAR systems with specific parameters such as platform height, velocity, down-sight angle, bandwidth, central frequency, beamwidth, and PRF for simulation and real data processing.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The processing chain includes DPCA processing for clutter suppression (if multiple channels are available), range pulse compression, constant false alarm detection, RCMC based on GMT parameter estimation, and azimuth compression for GMT SAR image generation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The study employs parameter estimation based on range migration fitting, azimuth pulse compression using slow-time matched filtering, and image restoration to Cartesian coordinates for analysis.
