  • 摘要:

    基于轨道角动量(OAM)的涡旋雷达因其在高分辨率成像方面具有巨大潜力而受到广泛关注。有限OAM模式下的涡旋雷达高分辨率成像问题,通常采用稀疏恢复的方法来解决,这种方法需要精确地已知成像模型的先验知识。然而,系统中不可避免存在的相位误差,会导致成像模型失配,严重影响成像性能。为了解决这一问题,该文首次建立了存在相位误差时的涡旋雷达成像模型。同时,提出了一种涡旋雷达两步自校正成像方法,用于直接估计相位误差。首先在第1步中提出了一种稀疏驱动算法来促进目标稀疏性,同时提升成像重构性能。其次,在第2步中提出了一种直接补偿相位误差的自校正操作。该方法通过对目标重构和相位误差估计的交替迭代,能够很好地重建目标并有效地补偿相位误差。仿真结果表明,该方法在提高成像质量和改善相位误差估计性能方面具有潜在的优势。
