Abstract
For bistatic inverse synthetic aperture radar (Bi-ISAR) imaging of space targets, the impacts of scatterers’ migration through resolution cell (MTRC) and azimuth high-order phase (AHP) are becoming more severe, especially for a long coherent processing interval (CPI). In this paper, the movement of a scatterer is modeled as a quartic function under the restriction of the space target orbit, then an MTRC-AHP compensation algorithm is proposed. A fourth-order keystone transform is introduced to remove the MTRC firstly, then the residual AHP terms are compensated gradually via the azimuth compensation phase and fractional Fourier transform (FRFT). The impact of the orbit prediction error of the space target on the algorithm is analyzed theoretically. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and validation of the theoretical analysis.
