Abstract
In general, the method of conventional motion compensation for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging is divided into translational motion compensation (TMC) and rotational motion compensation (RMC) in sequence. TMC is the premise of rotational compensation and the most critical procedure is range alignment. However, the deviation of echo correlation results in the poor performance of range alignment under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Therefore, a new high-resolution ISAR imaging and azimuth scaling method under low SNR using parameterized compensation and calibration is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the target motion is modeled, in which translational motion is modeled as formula of the polynomial coefficient vector. In addition, entropy minimization corresponding to echo signal with compensation term based on coefficients is taken as objective function. Moreover, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is utilized to search the global optimal parameters to be estimated precisely and efficiently to implement joint motion compensation and azimuth scaling. The experimental results from both simulated and real data verify the effectiveness and robustness of the method.
