发明名称 Subaperture processing for clutter reduction in synthetic aperture radar images of ground moving targets
摘要 A radar tracking system extracts moving target content from a single radar pulse stream. The radar tracking system has a single phase center antenna for receiving the radar pulse stream. The tracking system further includes a signal processing system for converting the radar pulse stream into a plurality of SAR images. Each image has a corresponding moving target content and a corresponding clutter content. The tracking system also includes a targeting system for canceling identical clutter content between the images. The signal processing system includes a synthetic subaperture system for generating a plurality of synthetic subapertures and defining a common reference point. The common reference point has known slant ranges with respect to the plurality of synthetic subapertures. A deramping module uses a unique deramping function to compute a deramped signal for each synthetic subaperture based on the known slant ranges. The signal processing system further includes an imaging system for generating SAR images for the deramped signals. The processing of a radar pulse stream from a single antenna allows antenna size to be reduced by a factor of two or more, and allows tracking of slowly moving targets.
