Abstract
This study proposes a clutter suppression approach and the corresponding ground moving target imaging algorithm for hypersonic vehicle (HSV) borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system with multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna. HSV-borne radar platforms fly with a high speed, which can lead to severe Doppler ambiguity, and the radar system usually cannot provide enough channel freedom degree for clutter suppression. In this study, an SAR ground moving target indication (GMTI) approach with MIMO antenna is presented for HSV-borne radar. Compared with the traditional multichannel SAR GMTI methods, the proposed approach can provide more space freedom degree and obtain a wider imaging swath without decreasing pulse repetition frequency. Besides, the improved deramp space-time adaptive processing method decreases the ambiguity times of the ground clutter and focuses the moving target. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
