ISAR Imaging Based on the Wideband Hyperbolic Frequency-Modulation Waveform

چکیده
The hyperbolic frequency-modulated (HFM) waveform has an inherent Doppler-invariant property. It is more conducive than the conventional linear frequency-modulated (LFM) waveform to high speed moving target imaging. In order to apply the HFM waveform to existing inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging systems, a new pulse compression algorithm is proposed. First, the received HFM echoes are demodulated with the transmitted signal, which is called "decurve" in this paper. By this operation, the bandwidth of the demodulated echoes is effectively reduced and can be processed by the existing narrow-band receiver. Then, the phase of the decurved HFM echoes is analyzed, and thus, the pulse compression is accomplished by space-variant phase compensation. In addition, the space-variant phase compensation is realized by resampling and fast Fourier transform (FFT) with high computational efficiency. Finally, numerical results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

متن کاملDelay-doppler Performance of Hyperbolic Frequency Modulation Waveforms
Doppler effect plays a vital role and cannot be neglected for high velocity radars. When the velocity between the target and radar is very high compared to the velocity of transmitted waveform, then the received signal suffers Doppler distortion and will not match with the matched filter. Due to this, linear frequency modulation waveform suffers from a considerable signal loss. Use of hyperboli...
