Abstract

Abstract

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) will pollute the echo signal of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and increase the difficulty of SAR image interpretation. Pulsed Direct Wave Interference (PDWI), as a typical RFI, covers SAR echo information with bright fringes in the original echo domain, which has a serious impact on SAR imaging quality. Among the existing interference suppression methods, the traditional Eigen Subspace Projection (ESP) method suppresses the whole pulse containing interference, which leads to the loss of useful signals in the non-interference positions in the pulse. In order to protect useful signals, an improved ESP SAR pulsed direct wave interference suppression method is proposed. Firstly, the specific position of PDWI in the time domain is obtained by twice detecting interference. Secondly, ESP operation is used to separate the useful signal from the interference signal only for the detected interference position data. Finally, the interference data of ESP reconstruction is subtracted from the original data to achieve interference suppression. Simulation and measured data processing show that, compared with the existing methods, this method can effectively avoid the loss of useful signals in SAR raw data and suppress the pulsed direct wave interference.
