Abstract:

To address the challenge of effectively integrating radar echo data from different frequency bands and viewing angles to achieve higher-resolution and clearer images, a high-resolution radar imaging algorithm based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) for multi-band and multi-angle data fusion is proposed. First, a sparse representation model is constructed for the multi-band and multi-angle radar signals. Then, the sparse reconstruction problem is solved by using ADMM. Finally, radar echo signals with ultra-wide bandwidth and large coherent accumulation angles are obtained, enabling the generation of radar images with significantly higher resolution compared to those produced by a single radar system. In addition, the sparse regularization mechanism of ADMM encourages sparsity in the solution, which allows it to automatically suppress low-intensity, random, or dispersed clutter signals in the background. This effectively enhances imaging quality by reducing background clutter. Taking simple multi-sphere models and complex ship models as examples, the impact of the proposed method and commonly used reconstruction algorithms on achieving high-resolution imaging through multi-band and multi-view fusion is analysed from two aspects: reconstruction accuracy and noise resistance. The results show that the proposed method can accurately reconstruct target scattering points in low signal-to-noise ratio environments and maintain high imaging resolution, verifying the effectiveness and noise resistance of the method.

Key words: alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), multi-band and multi-view fusion, signal sparse representation, high-resolution imaging
