The Relationship

The coupling between range and azimuth dimensions is the main obstacle for highly squinted synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data focusing. Range walk correction (RWC) processing is effective to remove the linear coupling term, but the residual high order range cell migration (RCM) parts are spatial-variant in both range and azimuth dimensions. In this paper, we propose a precise spatial-variant range cell migration correction (RCMC) method with subaperture processing. The method contains two stages. Firstly, the main component of range-variant RCM is corrected in the coarse RCMC stage. Secondly, data are derived into azimuth subapertures (SAs), an SA-image-domain RCMC is developed by interp correction, where the SA image is obtained using a modified spectrum analysis (SPECAN) algorithm by establishing the relationship between Doppler frequency and residual spatial-variant RCM. In the proposed algorithm, precise compensation of space-variant RCM is implemented by SA processing, which is designed for a better practicality in real-time processing system. Simulated and real measured data experiments are designed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for highly squinted SAR imaging.

Abstract Using Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filtering, a novel approach is proposed in this paper for simultaneous tracking of multiple moving targets in received data by Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) system. Since PHD filtering approach is implemented successively in prediction and update steps, its performance quality will obviously be higher in “Spotlight” imaging mode than in “Stripmap”. Thus, its application to Spotlight mode is generally more logical. The idea to integrate tracking capability into ISAR system processor is to sort radar received data to correct Range Cell Migration (RCM) prior to tracking operations. Clearly, Range Cell Migration Compensation (RCMC) approach is different from this approach in image formation process, in terms of their implementation phase. However, they are implemented in a similar way. As simulation results reveal, applying Range Cell Migration Compensation to the raw data received by ISAR before tracking operation, results in high quality tracking of moving targets.

Range Cell Migration

A frequency scaling (FS) imaging algorithm is proposed for spotlight bistatic SAR data processing. Range cell migration correction (RCMC) is realized through phase multiplication. The proposed algorithm is insensitive to the length of the baseline due to the high precision of the point target (PT) spectrum that we are based on. It is capable of handling bistatic SAR data with a large baseline to range ratio. The algorithms suitable for small and high squint angles are both discussed according to whether the range dependence of the second range compression (SRC) can be neglected or not. Simulated experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
