Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radars, and particularly relates to a space-time matching-based bistatic forward-looking SAR clutter suppression method.
Background
By separately arranging a receiving station and a transmitting station on different independent platforms, the inherent limitation of the traditional single-base SAR can be broken through, and a two-dimensional high-resolution image in front of the flying platform can be obtained. With the continuous improvement of the requirements on the remote sensing system in modern application, the BFSAR ground moving target detection technology is increasingly urgent in the field of military and civilian. However, when BFSAR surveys over the ground, moving target echoes will typically be swamped in the stationary strong clutter background of the ground, and therefore clutter suppression is one of the key steps in moving target detection.
In the single-base side-looking SAR, clutter echoes are irrelevant in distance, namely clutter angles and Doppler traces have the same characteristic in different distance units, but under the condition of the double-base side-looking SAR, ground clutter has strong non-stationarity, the angle and Doppler traces of the clutter change along with the change of the distance units, and distance correlation exists, so that great difficulty is brought to effective inhibition of the double-base side-looking SAR clutter.
At present, the research and literature of Bistatic Forward SAR mainly focuses on Imaging algorithms of static scenes, see the literature "R.Wang, O.Loffeld, Y.neo, et al.Focus Bistatic SAR Data in Airborner/static Configuration [ J ]. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and motion Sensing,2010,48(1):452 & 465" and "H.Sun and J.Lim.Omega-k Algorithm for Airborner Forward-tracking Bistatic Spotlight Imaging [ J ]. IEEE geostationary Sensing Letter,2009,6(2):312 & 316". For the aspect of bistatic forward-looking SAR moving target imaging, related research is disclosed in recent years. See the documents "Z.Li, J.Wu, Y.Huang, Z.Sun and J.Yang.group-Moving Target Imaging and vector Estimation Based on the mismatch Compression for Bistatic Forward-Looking SAR [ J ]. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and motion Sensing,2016,54(6):3277 + 3291" and "Z.Li, J.Wu, Z.Liu, Y.Huang, H.Yang and J.Yang.An Optima 2-D spectra Matching Method for group Moving Target Imaging. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and motion Sensing,2018,56(10): 5961: 5974". The two methods can realize refocusing and parameter estimation processing of the moving target, but the influence of BFSAR ground strong clutter is not considered in the processing process of the moving target signal. The above method will face severe performance loss when BFSAR clutter is present. In order to effectively realize BFSAR moving target indication, clutter in an echo needs to be suppressed first, and main clutter suppression methods comprise a phase center offset antenna (DPCA) method and a space-time adaptive processing (STAP) method. See the documents "D.Cerutti-machining and I.Sikaneta.A.A.Generation of DPCA Processing for Multichannel SAR/GMTI radars. IEEE Transactions on geo knowledge and Remote Sensing,2013,51(1): 560-. The DPCA method realizes clutter suppression by canceling multi-channel echoes, but the DPCA method requires that the speed, the channel spacing and the pulse repetition frequency of the SAR system meet strict conditions, so that equivalent phase centers of different channels can be superposed in different time domains; however, in the BFSAR, the transmit-receive separation will cause the above conditions to be difficult to satisfy, thereby affecting the processing effect of the BFSAR-DPCA. The STAP method is used as the extension of DPCA, and expands the one-dimensional signal processing to a space-time two-dimensional domain for processing; but due to the clutter echo of the BFSAR has range migration, doppler spectrum spread and non-stationary characteristics, the clutter suppression performance of the method is seriously deteriorated.

considering that the Doppler broadening is caused by long observation time in BFSAR, so that the traditional STAP method can not be directly applied, the invention adopts a time-sharing processing method to divide the processing time into a plurality of sub-time periods, thereby eliminating the influence of the Doppler broadening. In the time-sharing process, each sub-period satisfies the following relationship:
