Reduced Rank Interference Suppression for Multichannel SAR
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large regions of a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image can potentially be destroyed by an airborne broadband jammer. Jammer components include both the direct-path and multipath reflections from the ground, known as hot-clutter (HC) or terrain scattered interference. Using multiple antennas on a SAR provides spatial degrees of freedom and allows for beamforming to reject the direct-path signal. Previous studies have shown that derivative constraints when combined with fast-time taps can suppress HC while maintaining a reasonable SAR image. This approach however requires an expensive matrix inverse and may not be implementable in real time. This paper therefore presents a fast-time Space Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) algorithm with a reduced rank constrained Generalised Sidelobe Canceller (GSC).

Constrained Fast-time STAP Techniques for Interference Suppression in Multichannel SAR
Forming a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image while suppressing an airborne broadband jammer can potentially destroy large regions of the image. In addition to this, multipath reflections from the ground, known as hotclutter (HC) or terrain scattered interference will add a nonstationary interference component to the image. Using multiple antennas on a SAR provides spatial degrees of freedom a...

Multichannel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a breakthrough given the inherent limitation between high-resolution and wide-swath (HRWS) faced with conventional SAR. This paper aims to obtain unambiguous imaging of static scenes and moving targets with the first Chinese dual-channel spaceborne SAR sensor. We propose an integrated imaging scheme with the dual-channel echoes. In the imaging sche...
متن کاملPerformance of reduced-rank linear interference suppression
The performance of reduced-rank linear filtering is studied for the suppression of multiple-access interference. A reduced-rank filter resides in a lower dimensional space, relative to the full-rank filter, which enables faster convergence and tracking. We evaluate the large system output signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) as a function of filter rank for the multistage Wiener filte...
متن کاملLow-Sample Performance of Reduced-Rank Power Minimization Based Jammer Suppression for GPS
When wideband and narrowband interferences in a GPS system are stationary, a large number of data samples may be obtained to get a good estimate of the interference. However, the jamming environment may be one in which the narrowband jammers have the ability to change frequencies dynamically or the rapid dynamics of the aircraft during maneuvering causes arrival angles of wideband jammers to ch...
