Improved Configuration Adaptability Based on IAA for Distributed Radar Imaging

High resolution is always the most concerned issue of radar imaging. Traditional radar systems, which obtain echo data using single platform, can achieve limited imaging resolution in a specific view angle. Distributed radar system, which expands multi-platform in space to obtain high imaging resolution by forming a large aperture, is a novel and hot research point. Matched filter, such as inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT), is a conventional method to deal with distributed radar imaging. However, the method relies strictly on geometric configuration. In this paper, an iterative adaptive approach (IAA) based method is proposed to solve the problem of configuration adaptability. It can maintain the performance of matrix during the iteration. Then, the distributed radar system can keep high resolution in different geometric configurations. Simulation results verified the excellent performance of the proposed IAA-based imaging method.
