Description
Summary:To correct the range walk through resolution cell in Doppler beam sharpening (DBS) imaging, a new DBS imaging algorithm based on Keystone transform is proposed. Without the exact values of the movement parameters and the look angle of the radar platform in the multi-targets environment, a linear trans- form on the received data is employed to correct different range walk values accurately under the condition of Doppler frequency ambiguity in this algorithm. This method can realize the cohe- rent integration in azimuth dimension and improve the azimuth resolution. In order to reduce the computational burden, a fast implementation of Keystone transform is used. Theoretical anal- ysis and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the new algorithm. And through comparing the computational load of the fast implementation with several other algorithms, the real-time processing ability of the proposed algorithm is superior to that of other algorithms.
