Abstract

The ground moving target (GMT) model has been widely employed in modern coherent radar systems, such as the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and the bistatic SAR (BiSAR). For the coherent radar systems, GMT imaging necessitates the compensation of the additional azimuth modulation without a priori knowledge of the GMT's motion parameters. That is to say, it is necessary to estimate the Doppler parameters of the GMT before the azimuth compression processing. For conventional estimation methods, such as the map drift (MD) method and the phase gradient auto-focus (PGA) method, a searching procedure is necessary and leads to an expensive computational cost. In this paper, a Doppler parameter estimation method based on mismatched compression is proposed. One advantage of this method is that it doesn't need the searching procedure. In addition, another advantage of this method is that both the Doppler centroid and the Doppler frequency rate of the GMT can be simultaneously estimated according to the relationships among the Doppler parameters, the positional offset and the boarding width of the mismatched imaging result. The theoretical analysis and numerical simulations validate that the proposed method works well with different signal to noise ratio.
