Multistatic passive radar imaging using the smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution

چکیده
We investigate passive radar imaging of aircraft using reflected TV signals. We apply a Smoothed Pseudo WignerVille Distribution (SPWVD)-based SAR imaging algorithm to two different scenarios. In the first simulation, multistatic VHF-band dataset generated by Fast Illinois Solver Code (FISC) is used. In the second simulation, a more realistic simulated passive radar dataset is used. A set of instantaneous images are produced by our algorithm, which have higher resolution and show more detail and features of the aircraft than can be obtained by Direct Fourier Reconstruction (DFR). The set of images provides visually more information about the target and helps to estimate its shape and features. This study suggests that the SPWVD-based imaging might be useful in passive radar imaging and target classification.

ISAR Imaging of Moving Targets Based on Reassigned Smoothed Pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution
High-range resolution inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging is a promising tool for non-cooperative target identification and has attracted wide interest within the scientific and military communities. Most of the existing ISAR algorithms are based on the Fourier transform. However, for long coherent integration time or for fast maneuvering targets, simple Fourier processing without c...
متن کاملWide-angle Isar Passive Imaging Using Smoothed Pseudo Wigner-ville Distribution
We are investigating passive radar imaging of aircraft using reflected TV signals. UHF-band ISAR imaging requires wide-angle data to produce good cross-range resolution. We show that direct Fourier reconstruction (DFR) causes degradation of the reconstructed image due to aspect-dependent scattering. We find that a Smoothed Pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (SPWVD) applied in the cross-range dire...

This article presents a new method facilitating interference reduction in the Wigner-Ville distribution, which is used for nonstationary signal analysis, for example in machine condition monitoring. The algorithm is based on multiple Smoothed Pseudo Wigner-Ville distributions: differently smoothed time-frequency planes are compared and, for every point, a cross-term free value is calculated on ...
