As such, the ability to perform accurate real-time focusing and localisation on moving targets, particularly those moving with complex motion, is desired. Many existing autofocus algorithms struggle to achieve this and rely on sub-aperture processing of SAR data to estimate and compensate for phase errors attributed to unknown target motion. This paper presents a new metric-based autofocus approach, called Localised Threshold Sharpness (LTS), which employs multistatic SAR data to localise and focus a target moving with up to six degrees of freedom motion on a real-time, pulse-by-pulse basis. The algorithm is verified with experimental data, and its performance is compared against the performance of an existing measure of image sharpness suitable for pulse-by-pulse autofocusing, namely the intensity-squared metric, with varying levels of added noise. Normalised cross-correlation results demonstrate a resemblance of at least 80% between Multistatic SAR images focused via LTS autofocus and Multistatic SAR images ideally focused using target motion knowledge for signal-to-noise ratios above 3 dB.</p>","PeriodicalId":11556,"journal":{"name":"Electronics Letters","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/ell2.70217","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143638874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
