A Novel Phase Compensation Method for ISAR Imaging in Wideband Radar

Abstract

This paper is proposed to eliminate the negative influence of the Rotational Phase Component (RPC) on the performance of the Doppler Centroid Tracking (DCT) phase compensation method. Firstly, the coherent property between adjacent echo pulses sampled directly in Intermediate Frequency (IF) is analyzed in the paper. Then a coherent phase compensation method is developed to improve the Translational Phase Component (TPC) estimation accuracy of DCT. Compared to the Modified DCT (MDCT) algorithm, the proposed method achieves better phase compensation performance. Experimental results prove the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed strategy.
