Abstract

Abstract

The three-dimensional (3D) imaging of airborne sparse array SAR is studied. In order to avoid data redundancy, high Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) and motion compensation caused by aperture synthesis, the Modified Uniformly Redundant Arrays (MURA) is introduced for random modulation on echo data along the array antenna sampling plane. The MURA positive and negative coded echo signals are processed to form 3D complex images, respectively, and by interferometry of two images the 3D frequency spectrum of the signal is concentrated in low frequency band. Therefore, using low-pass filter or Compressed Sensing (CS) processing in frequency domain, 3D image with sufficient performance is obtained under the condition of sparse sampling in the frequency domain. The method has the characteristics of high utilization rate of echo data and low repetition frequency of the system. Simulation results and experimental data of the anechoic chamber verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
