Abstract
- Bistatic and multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can greatly improve system performance in various aspects, especially in achieving high-resolution wide-swath (HRWS) images. However, the specific system structure may lead to a higher degree of range ambiguities. This letter studies the structure of multistatic multiple elevation beams (MMEB) system which achieves HRWS images with the drawback of more serious range ambiguities compared with the conventional SAR which must be suppressed to get an acceptable system performance. The character that the receivers form, a prospective distributed multichannel system in azimuth, can give a guide in estimating the strong range ambiguities and remove them. An innovative method in estimating and removing (not just smearing) the strong range ambiguities based on this character is proposed. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show the effectiveness of the method. The proposed method considerably improves the range ambiguous performance of the MMEB system without using digital beamforming or pulse coding and makes full use of the system character, and thus improves the applicability of the system.
