    Abstract
  • Clutter suppression is an important technology for moving target indication. However, for Bistatic Synthetic Aperture Radar (BiSAR) moving target indication, traditional space-time adaptive processing and displaced phase center antenna methods cannot achieve the expected clutter suppression because of the strong coupling nonlinearity and nonstationarity of clutter. To address the aforementioned challenge, this study proposes a dual-channel clutter cancellation processing method via space-time decoupling for airborne BiSAR. The core lies in establishing the space-time decoupling matrix, which converts the strongly coupled nonlinear two-dimensional space-time spectrum of airborne BiSAR into that with consistent spatial frequency. The proposed method mainly consists of the following steps: (1) To improve the signal-to-clutter-plus-noise ratio of moving targets, the first-order Keystone transformation and high-order range migration correction function are applied to concentrate the energy of moving targets in the same range cell. (2) To weaken the azimuth spectrum expansion effect caused by the motion of bistatic platforms, the Doppler frequency rate term is compensated for each range cell. (3) To achieve clutter cancellation, the space-time decoupling matrix is introduced. The normalized Doppler frequency remains unchanged, and the clutter atoms on the airborne BiSAR space-time plane are linearly transformed into atomic positions with the same normalized spatial frequency. Then, the echo signals of dual channels are subtracted for effective clutter suppression. The effectiveness of the proposed method for airborne BiSAR clutter suppression is demonstrated through simulation and real data processing.
