This paper finds out an interesting phenomenon, i.e. the angular extent effect, in micro-motion target images formulated by the polar format algorithm. A micromotion target takes on multiple pairs of paired echoes （PEs） around the true point, and each PE extends for an angle which is exactly equal to the angular extent of the synthetic aperture, regardless of the micromotion frequency. The effect is derived and interpreted by using the characteristics of Bessel functions. Then it is demonstrated by simulation experiments of a target with different micromotion frequencies. The revelation and interpretation of the effect is highly beneficial to micromotion-target SAR image understanding as wel as target recognition.展开更多

文摘前视合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)在舰船成像方面展现出了巨大潜力,特别是在SAR导引头的应用上,弹载雷达通常在末制导阶段要求雷达正对着舰船运动,以实现精准打击。针对前视条件下传统SAR成像方法所面临的挑战,本文提出了一种基于极坐标格式算法(Polar Format Algorithm,PFA)的前视SAR舰船目标立面成像方法。该方法巧妙利用了舰船的三维特性,即使雷达工作在前视模式下,虽然在方位向上无法有效分辨目标,但在俯仰向上仍然存在多普勒频率的变化,因此可以在距离向和俯仰向上实现对舰船的二维高分辨率成像。此外,这种成像方法能够提供更为直观的舰船立面图像,这对于识别舰船类型、判断潜在威胁以及对其进行精准打击具有重大意义。最后,通过仿真实验对该方法进行了验证,利用PFA获得了清晰的舰船立面图像。
