Abstract:

The conventional linear interpolation method will introduce the estimation error when the gapped data of ISAR is large. A high resolution imaging method based on compressed sensing for gapped data of ISAR is proposed in this paper. We first construct a sparse basis dictionary and linear measurement matrix. Then the convex optimization means as the base pursuit can be used to extract the scatter property and Doppler frequency information. By all the steps above, the image of ISAR is formed in the plane of range and Doppler. No interpolation is needed for the sparse aperture, and no sidelobes exit in the ISAR images. Simulation results and real sparse ISAR data validate the feasibility and superiority of the approach.

Key words: ISAR, linear interpolation, compressed sensing, convex optimization, Doppler frequency
