The technique consists of a new baseline geometry and of a tailored reconstruction method. The new baseline is configured according to the coprime array geometry. Naturally, we name the proposed technique as the \"coprime TomoSAR\". The coprime acquisition mode requires fewer acquisitions than the uniform one for obtaining the same baseline aperture. To further improve tomographic resolution and to reject ambiguity problem induced by sparsely sampling of the coprime acquisition mode, we perform the tomographic reconstruction using the root-multiple signal classification (Root-MUSIC) algorithm. More important is that the Root-MUSIC algorithm can exploit the difference co-baseline in the tomographic reconstruction process. The exploition of the difference co-baseline ensures that the coprime TomoSAR provides comparable tomographic performance to the uniform TomoSAR when the two TomoSAR have the same baseline aperture length. This is validated by simulation experiments.","PeriodicalId":318218,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd China International SAR Symposium (CISS)","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123303272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Azimuth Doppler spectrum is theoretically an infinite spectrum that is not limited by bandwidth. Due to azimuth sampling, the spectrum part larger than the pulse repetition frequency is folded into a pulse repetition frequency (PRF), so it is difficult to find a solution to remove it completely using traditional methods. Especially in ocean images, the azimuth ambiguity caused by strongly scattered land, island or ship targets will affect the detection of sea targets. Aiming at the problem of loss of azimuth resolution and missing alarm caused by the coverage of target information on the sea surface while suppressing azimuth ambiguity, this paper proposes a coastal clutter and its azimuth ambiguity suppression method for SAR Images, which using SAR sensors to re-navigate the same area to obtain multi-temporal SAR images. At the same time, according to the dynamic characteristics of the sea surface, spatial frequency domain filtering and ideal filter methods are combined to complete the removal of near-coast ground clutter and azimuth ambiguity.","PeriodicalId":318218,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd China International SAR Symposium (CISS)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132940040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Hankel matrices are constructed from the SA echo in each range bin. After the low-rank property is proved, an MC method based on an augmented Lagrange multiplier (ALM) solution is used to reconstruct the cross-range profile. The proposed method based on the low-rank constraint can avoid the presupposition of over complete basis, thus effectively overcoming the off-grid effect of CS methods.
