Fast Fourier-Based Implementation of Synthetic Aperture Radar Algorithm for Multistatic Imaging System
IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement(2019)
摘要
Multistatic millimeter-wave imaging structures are superior to their monostatic counterparts for imaging natural objects of sudden profile variations. Multistatic image reconstruction is conventionally performed via synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-based methods which, in spite of their high accuracy, are computationally burdensome. On the other side, the Fourier-based image reconstruction in multistatic systems also faces few challenges including multidimensional interpolation, a plane-wave approximation of spherical waves, and
$k$
-space partitioning. This paper presents a fast implementation of the SAR-based image reconstruction method in case of 1-D and 2-D multistatic arrays. The proposed implementation is Fourier based across the uniform direction in
$k$
-space and SAR based along the nonuniform direction. Both methods are fully parallelizable and are arranged into a vector format to maximize memory usage and minimize the computational time. The extensive validation and benchmarking have been performed with both simulation and experimental data, which proves a
$256\times $
improvement in the reconstruction time for the worst case scenario compared to that of in SAR-based methods with the same image quality. Furthermore, the reconstructed image performance is around
$10\times $
better than the most recent Fourier-based reconstruction method, in terms of root-mean-square error metric, and with
$28\times $
less computational time.
