To alleviate such problems, this paper proposes an efficient ISAR imaging method based on sliding window STAP. In the method, the whole CPI is divided into a series of coherent processing sub-intervals (CPSIs). Those CPSIs are generated with sliding window technique and they have identical length. In each CPSI, sub-CPI STAP is adopted to suppress the clutter. After that, the target signal is enhanced in terms of signal-to-clutter-plus-noise ratio (SCNR). Meanwhile, the Doppler frequency linear differences with respect to the azimuth dimension is still maintained, which contributes to the further ISAR imaging by Range-Doppler (RD) algorithm after range migration correction. Comparing with existing full-CPI STAP based method, the proposed method improves ISAR imaging performance while requiring less computational complexity. The simulation experiments are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":6753,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 11th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"14 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79503616","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}

However, it is generally required that the array aperture is small, such that the DMA can respond to acoustic pressure differentials. In this paper, we propose a method to design differential beamformers with larger arrays consisting of multiple DMAs. In our study, conventional DMAs are considered as elementary units. The beamforming process consists of elementary differential beamformers and an additional beamformer that combines the multiple DMAs’ outputs. The steering vector of the global array is written as a Kronecker product of the steering vectors of an elementary DMA unit and the virtual array constructed from all the DMA units. This enables to design the global beamformer as a Kronecker product of the differential beamformer and the beamformer that corresponds to the virtual array. With the proposed method, one can take advantage of the good properties of DMAs for the design of beamformers with any size of microphone array.","PeriodicalId":6753,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 11th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"25 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77939659","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}

A beamforming design method is developed for the case when the only available data is a single-snapshot that is contaminated by the signal-of-interest. Instead of using the non-invertible rank-one sample covariance matrix, the proposed method reconstructs the interference-plus-noise covariance matrix via estimating the interference signal component(s) and the noise variance. The computationally-efficient fast iterative interpolated beamforming (FIIB) algorithm is used to estimate the spatial frequencies and complex amplitudes associated with the interference. The reconstructed covariance matrix is used for adaptive beamforming design. Unlike existing sparsity-based covariance reconstruction techniques, the proposed method is able to reconstruct off-grid interference components and its performance is shown to not suffer from estimation bias. Simulation examples are used to demonstrate the performance superiority of the proposed method over other adaptive single-snapshot beamforming techniques.","PeriodicalId":6753,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 11th Sensor Array and Multichannel Signal Processing Workshop (SAM)","volume":"57 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78641818","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}
