Abstract
A geosynchronous (GEO) satellite can provide continuous illumination with broad beam coverage for a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) receiver, used as the transmitting station of bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Meanwhile, because the bistatic SAR system comprises a separate transmitter and receiver, the LEO receiver can realize multiview imaging such as downward-, forward-, and backward-looking. Therefore, GEO-LEO bistatic SAR is widely used in earth surveying and mapping to reconnaissance and surveillance application. To realize large-scene imaging, the pulse repetition rate of the GEO SAR transmitter should be low. Meanwhile, the LEO SAR receiver introduces a wide Doppler bandwidth, resulting in the azimuth undersampling of the GEO-LEO bistatic SAR. Although the multichannel technology in the receiver can suppress the ambiguity, the multichannel unambiguous recovery method requires numerous channels, resulting in the undersampling of the GEO-LEO bistatic SAR, and hindering the miniaturization of the receiving system. To address the problem of ambiguous imaging of complex observation scenes under the condition of severe azimuth subsampling condition, a sequential joint multiframe and multireceiving channel recovery unambiguous imaging method is proposed. The unambiguous imaging is recovered jointly from the correlation between sequential multiframe observation scenes and multireceiving channel sampling information. First, the unambiguous imaging problem of the GEO-LEO bistatic SAR is modeled as a joint low rank and sparse tensor optimization problem. Second, in the iterative solution of the alternating direction multiplier method, the multireceiving channel information is used to realize the unambiguous imaging of the GEO-LEO bistatic SAR for complex observation scenes. The proposed method can significantly reduce the number of receiving channels required for unambiguous imaging compared with the imaging method based on traditional multichannel The results obtained by the proposed method are validated by simulations and experiments. -
