Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging of a maneuvering target is a challenging task in the field of radar signal processing. The azimuth echo can be characterized as a multi-component polynomial phase signal (PPS) after the translational compensation, and the high quality ISAR images can be obtained by the parameters estimation of it combined with the Range-Instantaneous-Doppler (RID) technique. In this paper, a novel parameters estimation algorithm of the multi-component PPS with order three (cubic phase signal-CPS) based on the modified discrete polynomial-phase transform (MDPT) is proposed, and the corresponding new ISAR imaging algorithm is presented consequently. This algorithm is efficient and accurate to generate a focused ISAR image, and the results of real data demonstrate the effectiveness of it.
对机动目标进行逆合成孔径雷达(ISAR)成像是雷达信号处理领域一项具有挑战性的任务。经过平移补偿后,方位向回波可表征为多分量多项式相位信号(PPS),结合距离-瞬时多普勒(RID)技术对其进行参数估计,可获得高质量的ISAR图像。本文提出了一种基于改进离散多项式相位变换(MDPT)的新型三阶多分量PPS(立方相位信号-CPS)参数估计算法,并据此提出了相应的新型ISAR成像算法。该算法能够高效、准确地生成聚焦的ISAR图像,实际数据结果验证了其有效性。
