-
摘要:
针对汽车雷达方位角分辨率受方位向天线长度限制的问题，该文提出一种基于多波束实孔径雷达图像融合来提升汽车雷达方位角分辨率的成像方法。该方法首先利用相控阵天线波束电扫描来获取前视实孔径雷达图像，然后根据汽车雷达成像几何关系通过多张多角度实孔径雷达图像相参累加来提升雷达方位角分辨率。计算机仿真结果验证了该方法在提升汽车雷达方位角分辨率的有效性。
Abstract:As the azimuth angular resolution is limited by the antenna length in automotive radars, a novel imaging approach for improving azimuth angular resolution of automotive radars is proposed based on multi-beam real-aperture radar images combination processing. Firstly, the antenna beam of the phased array antenna is electronically scanned to obtain forward-looking real-aperture radar images. Afterwards, multiple real-aperture radar images are coherent accumulated according to the imaging geometry of automotive radar to improve azimuth angular resolution. Simulation results validate the proposed imaging approach to improve the azimuth angular resolution of automotive radar.
