摘要/Abstract

Abstract:

Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging of the target with the non-rigid body is very important in the field of radar signal processing. In this paper, a motion compensation method combined with the preprocessing and global technique is proposed to reduce the influence of micro-motion components in the fast time domain, and the micro-Doppler (m-D) signal in the slow time domain is separated by the improved complex-valued empirical-mode decomposition (CEMD) algorithm, which makes the m-D signal more effectively distinguishable from the signal for the main body by translating the target to the Doppler center. Then, a better focused ISAR image of the target with the non-rigid body can be obtained consequently. Results of the simulated and raw data demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Key words: inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR), micro-Doppler (m-D), motion compensation, complex-valued empirical-mode decomposition (CEMD)
