针对太空碎片围绕其主轴进行高速自旋运动的特点,利用单距离匹配滤波(Single Range Matching Filtering,SRMF)方法可以实现小尺寸太空碎片的逆合成孔径雷达成像。通过相干CLEAN技术的引入,SRMF-CLEAN算法可有效地解决傅里叶变换带来的高旁瓣问题。然而在低信噪比情况下,利用SRMF-CLEAN成像方法提取的散射点位置误差偏大,甚至某些弱散射点无法被提取;当散射点距离较近时,该算法提取的散射点中存在虚假散射点的情况。针对此,提出了一种改进的SRMF-CLEAN成像方法,该方法利用序列CLEAN技术可以有效地解决高旁瓣、虚假散射点问题。仿真实验结果验证了新方法的有效性。
Based on laser radar equations, a Doppler shift model of a laser pulse beam scattered by a rotating arbitrary convex target is reported in this paper. The boundary relations between an incident pulse beam and the detected area elements are analyzed by geometric methods. The Doppler shift characteristics of the rotating cone and cylinder are discussed and the difference between the laser pulse beam and the plane wave scattered from the same rotating target is compared accordingly. Numerical simulations show that the Doppler shift is tightly relevant to their dimensions, speeds, and so on. In the same incidence conditions, the pulse beam and plane wave have difference peak values and the same Doppler shift bandwidth. If the waist radius of the pulse beam is larger, the peak value is higher, and the Doppler shifts are proportional to the speed of the rotating target. By virtue of our theoretical model, we probe into the scattered characteristics of the Doppler shifts of a laser pulse beam, which would benefit target identification in national defense.
