Abstract
A Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system has been considered for its potential to simultaneously improve the performance of stationary scene imaging and ground moving target indication (GMTI) by utilizing multiple subarrays both at transmission and reception. To successfully exploit the potential benefits of MIMO SAR for practical imaging application, a signal model for MIMO SAR system with colocated arrays is presented in this paper, then we propose a novel procedure for imaging processing by coherently combining the returns from multiple receive subarrays. Our approach can make efficient use of the transmitted waveform power, and resulting in higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) images. The effectiveness of model and MIMO SAR imaging method proposed in this paper are demonstrated by simulation experiments.
