Abstract
- Imaging of a ground moving target (GMT) with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a challenging task, particularly when the Doppler ambiguity happens. This paper proposes a novel GMT range model and a novel Doppler ambiguity-tolerated GMT imaging algorithm based on modified keystone transform. In the proposed GMT range model, the range from radar antenna to the scattering center on the target is divided into two parts: the range from radar antenna to the target centroid and the projection length on the light of sight from the target centroid to the scattering center. Based on the new range model, a Doppler ambiguity-tolerated range cell migration correction (RCMC) method is proposed, in which keystone transform is modified to realize the differential RCMC by interpolation with nonzero phase sinc kernel. Finally, the GMT image is obtained in the range-Doppler domain by matched filtering in the slow-time domain and is restored into the 2-D space domain. The effectiveness of our proposed model and imaging method is demonstrated by both simulated and real airborne SAR data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
