Abstract
For the high-resolution and wide-swath (HRWS) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system, the increasing imaging width results in a serious range ambiguity problem, which affects the performance of ground moving target indication (GMTI). In this article, a novel nonuniform subpulse coding (NSPC) scheme is proposed. It is characterized by resorting to range-frequency band resources and detailed coding design for each subpulse, enabling the beam auto-scanning in elevation. Also, the bandpass filtering and digital beamforming (DBF) technology with improved data reconstruction are utilized to realize the separation of subpulses and suppress range ambiguity. The NSPC technique exchanges the signal bandwidth for increasing swath without range ambiguity, and the coded subpulses can be directed to the prescribed regions, while skipping the invalid areas where the echoes are blocked. After that, through the robust principal component analysis (RPCA) method, the moving target detection is performed for each separated region without residual range-ambiguous interference. The proposed approach has been theoretically deduced in detail and the simulation experiments demonstrate its effectiveness.
