Abstract

This paper studies the inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging problem for a non-stationary moving target and proposes a non-search imaging method based on parameter estimation and sparse decomposition. The echoes received by radar can be thought of as consisting of chirp signals with varying chirp rates and center frequencies. Lv’s distribution (LVD) is introduced to accurately estimate these parameters. Considering their inherent sparsity, the signals are reconstructed via sparse representation using a redundant chirp dictionary. An efficient algorithm is developed to tackle the optimization problem for sparse decompositions. Then, by using the reconstructed data, adaptive joint time–frequency imaging techniques are employed to create high-quality images of the non-stationary moving target. Finally, the simulated experiments and measured data processing results confirm the proposed method’s validity.
