Abstract

Range ambiguity suppression is a key technical challenge for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. Waveform diversity technology is a potential solution due to its low system complexity. In this letter, a 2-D method based on orthogonal nonlinear frequency modulation (NLFM) waveform and azimuth phase coding (APC) for range ambiguity suppression is proposed. This approach not only suppresses range ambiguity energies instead of dispersing them, but also works for multiple consecutive orders of range ambiguity energies. The imaging processing and range ambiguity suppression performance are described in detail. In addition, the range-ambiguity-to-signal radio (RASR) is analyzed, and the simulation results for the point target and distribution scenarios are given to verify the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed scheme.
