Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) uses motion of single platform to obtain large aperture. However, it can only obtain a limited resolution at a specific perspective. Distributed radar, which utilize platforms to expand in space and form a larger aperture. It records echo from multiple signal channels which can achieve high resolution in all directions. The existing distributed radar system mainly realizes the imaging of static target with lots of platforms. In this paper, we studied moving target imaging of distributed radar in sparse array condition. In this system, all the array elements can work flexibly as transmitter or receiver. Some methods of spectrum estimation are used to solve distributed radar imaging model. But they are all applied to static target and it is difficult to estimate the number of scattered points accurately, especially for moving target. We established the signal model of moving target in a period of observation time and solved it by using truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD) method. Simulation results verified the feasibility of the imaging model and excellent performance of proposed method.","PeriodicalId":377019,"journal":{"name":"2019 6th Asia-Pacific Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar (APSAR)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122005374","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}

Although the radar network which is constituted by multiple independent and distributed radars can increase efficiency and shorten the observation time for multi-target imaging by the division of labor and cooperation, it is necessary for the radar network to design a multi-target imaging task allocation strategy to optimize the observation time of each radar and improve the time resource utilization. However, there is few study focusing on the imaging task allocation problem. Task allocation problem about multi-target inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging in radar network is a distributed decision problem, thus the game theory could be taken into account to solve the task allocation problem. In this paper, the system model about multi-target imaging and the imaging task allocation problem are given firstly. Moreover, a time optimization game model for multi-target imaging task allocation problem is proposed, and the game model is proven to be a potential game model which has at least one pure-strategy Nash equilibrium (NE). Finally, the best-response dynamics is applied to achieve the solution of the imaging task allocation problem, and the convergence of the time optimization is given to verify that the multi-target imaging task allocation problem can be constructed as a potential game model.","PeriodicalId":377019,"journal":{"name":"2019 6th Asia-Pacific Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar (APSAR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129318674","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}

Arc array synthetic aperture radar uses W-band as carrier signal, and W-band wavelength is short. The small high-frequency vibration of the helicopter-borne platform will cause significant changes in the phase of the echo signal, which will seriously deteriorate the imaging performance of arc array synthetic aperture radar. Based on the high order approximate imaging algorithm of arc array radar, this paper proposes a vibration phase error compensation imaging algorithm based on Short-time Fourier transform (STFT) parameter estimation. The algorithm uses the high-order approximation imaging algorithm of curved array radar to perform high-order approximation of the slant range model, compensates the range cell migration (RCM) and range azimuth coupling in the two-dimensional frequency domain, and finally realizes the vibration error compensation in the range Doppler domain. The simulation results of the lattice target verify the effectiveness of the imaging method.","PeriodicalId":377019,"journal":{"name":"2019 6th Asia-Pacific Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar (APSAR)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129366742","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}
