Description

Satellite-borne three-channel SAR-GMTI self-adaptive clutter suppression method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of Radar, relates to self-adaptive clutter suppression, and particularly relates to a satellite-borne three-channel Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) -Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI) self-adaptive clutter suppression method for suppressing Ground clutter received by a three-channel SAR-GMTI system.
Background
The proposal of the synthetic aperture concept and the invention of the SAR are a major breakthrough in the development history of the radar technology in the twentieth century. The SAR obtains high resolution in distance by emitting large bandwidth signals, and forms a large synthetic aperture by means of relative motion between a radar platform and a target, so that the high resolution in direction is obtained. The acquisition of high resolution of distance and direction enables the SAR to acquire large swath two-dimensional images similar to optical imaging all weather, all day long and far away, and the information acquisition capability of the radar is greatly improved. In view of the above advantages, SAR has gained widespread attention and application in recent years. The satellite-borne three-channel SAR-GMTI system becomes a research hotspot due to the important role of the system in traffic monitoring and battlefield reconnaissance.
For the space-borne SAR-GMTI system, because the radar works in a downward-looking state, a large amount of ground clutter is inevitably contained in an echo, and the frequency spectrum of the ground clutter may overlap with the frequency spectrum of a target, so that the target may be submerged by the strong clutter, and the detection of the space-borne SAR-GMTI system on the target is seriously influenced. In order to solve the above problems, an effective clutter suppression method is needed to suppress ground clutter and improve the detection performance of the system on the target.
The offset Phase center Antenna (DPCA) technique, which suppresses clutter by subtracting two images from each other, is one of the most commonly used two-channel SAR-GMTI techniques. However, DPCA techniques are designed for two-channel SAR-GMTI systems. When the number of channels of the SAR-GMTI system is more than two, the DPCA technology cannot fully accumulate the energy of the target signal. Furthermore, since DPCA techniques only use two degrees of freedom to suppress clutter, clutter suppression capability is very limited. Thus, DPCA techniques are not optimal for multi-channel SAR-GMTI systems. In order to solve the problems, Ender, Cerutti-Maori and the like of Germany high energy physics and radar technical research institute propose a multi-channel SAR-GMTI method based on adaptive clutter suppression, and the method carries out adaptive clutter suppression in a range-Doppler domain. The inventor finds that the method ignores the correlation of the data of the adjacent Doppler units, thereby limiting the clutter suppression performance of the multi-channel SAR-GMTI system and further limiting the detection capability of the system on the target.
