The azimuth multi-channel SAR imaging technology has important application in resource exploration, marine mapping, battlefield reconnaissance and environmental protection.
At present, a single transmitting antenna in the middle is used for transmitting signals by an azimuth multi-channel SAR system, and a plurality of sub-antennas in the azimuth receive echo signals from a target area respectively, so that the data volume of the azimuth multi-channel SAR system is increased sharply, and serious burden is brought to a storage link and a data transmission link of the azimuth multi-channel SAR system. Meanwhile, as the number of sub-apertures of the antenna, the sub-aperture spacing and the PRF of the azimuth multi-channel SAR system strictly meet certain conditions, when the parameters of the azimuth multi-channel SAR system do not meet the requirements of the conditions, the signals received by the azimuth multi-channel SAR system are non-uniform sampling signals, and if the non-uniform sampling signals are directly imaged by using the traditional single-channel SAR imaging algorithm, false targets appear in the imaging results, and serious azimuth ambiguity is generated.

Fig. 3 is a signal processing flow chart of a compressed sensing-based azimuth multi-channel SAR imaging method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the following steps:
step 301: performing two-dimensional random sparse sampling on signals received by each channel in the azimuth multi-channel SAR system; and performing phase compensation on the sparse sampling data of each channel according to the relative position relationship between the receiving antenna and the central transmitting antenna of each channel.
Here, the two-dimensional random sparse sampling result of the signal received by each channel is as shown in fig. 4, and the black cells represent the positions of the actually sampled data.
Step 302: and performing distance direction reconstruction imaging on the distance direction data of each azimuth unit in each channel of the azimuth direction after the phase compensation by using a compressed sensing method.
Step 303: carrying out DPCA processing on the data after the azimuth direction and each channel distance direction reconstruction imaging; and performing azimuth recovery on azimuth data in each range gate to realize two-dimensional compressed sensing SAR imaging.
The main difference between the present embodiment and the conventional azimuth multi-channel SAR imaging algorithm is that: according to the method, the sampling data volume of the system is greatly reduced through two-dimensional random sparse sampling of each receiving channel, meanwhile, accurate imaging of an observation scene can be directly achieved through a compressed sensing method for non-uniform signals, spectrum reconstruction preprocessing is not needed through a filter bank method, and effective suppression of the blurring of the azimuth false target can be achieved. The simulation system parameters of this embodiment are shown in table 1:

Carrier wave length lambda 0.03m
Radar platform height H 495km
Slope distance R 700km

TABLE 1
As can be seen from table 1, the system parameters are in the non-uniform sampling operation mode. FIG. 5 is a simulation result of an azimuth multi-channel SAR imaging method based on compressed sensing. The simulation result of directly using the conventional single-channel RD algorithm to perform imaging without performing filter bank spectrum reconstruction on the full-sampling data is shown in fig. 6. The azimuth multi-channel SAR imaging algorithm based on compressed sensing can effectively inhibit false target problems caused by non-uniform sampling and realize accurate imaging of an observation scene.
It should be noted that, for non-uniformly sampled signals, when the PRF operates at a specific value, aliasing may occur to the sampled data in the actual azimuth direction of the system, and the conventional filter bank spectrum reconstruction algorithm becomes unstable due to the matrix inversion operation, that is, the PRF of the system has singular points for the filter bank reconstruction method. When the PRF operates at a singular point, the spectral reconstruction using the filter bank method will fail, resulting in an increase in side lobes. The compressed sensing-based azimuth multi-channel SAR imaging algorithm has no limit requirement on PRF, and can realize accurate recovery of an observation scene under the condition of PRF at a singular point.
When the PRF works near a singular point 1807Hz and other parameters are as in table 1, fig. 7 is a simulation result of performing one-dimensional imaging on full-sampling data by using a matched filtering method after spectral reconstruction by a filter bank, and fig. 8 is an azimuth recovery result of performing one-dimensional imaging by directly using a compressed sensing-based method by using triple-time down-sampling data.
From simulation results, when the PRF of the system works at a singular point, the filter bank spectrum reconstruction method is obviously invalid, and the method based on compressed sensing can realize accurate recovery of the azimuth observation scene by using data volume far lower than full sampling.
