Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Forward-looking correlated imaging plays an increasingly important role in modern radar imaging systems. It overcomes disadvantages of traditional side or squint synthetic aperture radar (SAR) which is dependent on specific relative motion between the radar and target scene. A new microwave forward-looking correlated 3-D imaging method based on random radiation field combined with sparse reconstruction is proposed in this article. Firstly, phased array radar (PAR) is adopted to form different and random antenna patterns. Then, combined with the compressed sensing (CS) theory, the target image can be recovered with very few samples which can break through Rayleigh resolution limitation. Furthermore, the proposed method can achieve resolution at least 5.5 times higher than real aperture imaging. To raise computation efficiency of sparse reconstruction, an improved quasi-Newton iteration method based on graphics processing unit (GPU) platform is developed. Meanwhile, a GPU-based (NVIDIA Tesla K40c) accelerated computing method can significantly reduce the processing time compared with the time given by a personal computer (PC). Both simulation and field experiment verify the validity of the proposed method.
