Abstract:

When sparse reconstruction method is used for radar microwave correlation imaging, the traditional orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm needs to solve the least square solution of the objective function in each iteration, which leads to a sharp increase in the computational complexity of the imaging algorithm with the increase of the matrix size and the number of iterations. In order to solve this problem, an improved OMP microwave correlation imaging method for sparse targets combined with frequency agility. Firstly, the mechanism of microwave correlation imaging is clarified, and the signal model of microwave correlation imaging is constructed. Then, the least square solution step of OMP algorithm is improved by using conjugate gradient method, and the calculation amount of the improved algorithm is analyzed. Finally, the correctness and superiority of the proposed algorithm is verified by comparative simulation experiments with least square imaging method, matched filtering imaging method and imaging method based on traditional OMP coefficent reconstruction.

Key words: frequency agility, forward looking imaging, random radiation field, sparse reconstruction, least square, conjugate gradient, microwave correlation
