- Abstract
Two unsolved key issues in inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging for non-cooperative rapidly spinning targets including high computational complexity and poor imaging performance in the case of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are addressed in this work. In the strip-map imaging mode of SAR, it is well known that azimuth spatial invariant characteristics exist, and inspired by this, we propose a fast ISAR imaging approach for spinning targets. Our approach involves two steps. First, a precise analytic expression in the range-Doppler (RD) domain is produced using the principle of stationary phase (POSP). Second, a novel interpolation kernel function is designed to remove two-dimensional (2-D) spatial-variant phase errors, and the corresponding fast implementation steps that only require Fourier transform and multiplications are also presented. Finally, a well-focused ISAR image is obtained by compensating the azimuth high-order terms. Compared with current imaging methods, our approach avoids multi-dimensional search and interpolation operations and exploits the 2-D coherent integrated gain; the proposed method is of low computational cost and robustness in the low SNR condition. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is confirmed by numerically simulated experiments.
