Abstract

The anntenna area of distributed micosateliites radar system is usually smaller than the minimum SAR antenna area constraint, and there are range-Doppler ambiguities. So one key focus of this signal processing research is to develop processing approaches that exploit the added degrees of freedom of a spatially diverse formation to resolve inherent ambiguities of this sparse aperture distributed micosateliites radar system. In the paper, a beamform processing method of three-dimensional sparse arrays is proposed to spatially null Doppler ambiguities. This method first filters out each unambiguous frequency point from ambiguous Doppler channels of a few different phase centers by using spatial filter, this processing can be regard as a space-time processing, then combines all unambiguous frequency point to a whole unambiguous Doppler band, after that, does imaging processing. Theoretical derivation, performance analysis, and simulation of this method are discussed in the paper.
