A Novel Speed Compensation Method for ISAR Imaging with Low SNR
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, two novel speed compensation algorithms for ISAR imaging under a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) condition have been proposed, which are based on the cubic phase function (CPF) and the integrated cubic phase function (ICPF), respectively. These two algorithms can estimate the speed of the target from the wideband radar echo directly, which breaks the limitation of speed measuring in a radar system. With the utilization of non-coherent accumulation, the ICPF-based speed compensation algorithm is robust to noise and can meet the requirement of speed compensation for ISAR imaging under a low SNR condition. Moreover, a fast searching implementation strategy, which consists of coarse search and precise search, has been introduced to decrease the computational burden of speed compensation based on CPF and ICPF. Experimental results based on radar data validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

In general, conventional error correction for inverse synthetic aperture radarimaging consists of range alignment and phase adjustment, which compensate range shift and phase error, respectively. Minimum entropy-based methods have been proposed to realize range alignment and phase adjustment. However, it becomes challenging to align high-resolution profiles when strong noise presents, even usin...
