  • 摘要: 低过采样Staggered SAR利用变脉冲重复间隔技术有效分散盲区,可实现连续观测的高分宽幅成像,同时采用低过采样率可降低系统对数据存储的要求,因此具有重要的研究价值。然而,低过采样Staggered SAR存在的非均匀采样、回波丢失和非理想方位天线方向图(AAP)问题会导致成像结果中出现严重的方位模糊。该文提出了一种基于压缩感知的成像方法,可解决已有方法模糊抑制性能差和效率低的问题。首先,建立了准确描述低过采样Staggered SAR非均匀采样、回波丢失和距离徙动的创新性频域模型(IFDM),利用二维快速迭代收缩阈值算法对基于该IFDM构造的优化问题进行迭代求解可抑制非均匀采样和回波丢失造成的方位模糊;然后,利用选择滤波方法处理迭代结果可抑制非理想AAP造成的方位模糊。实验结果表明该文方法在成像性能和效率上均优于已有方法。
