Multi-Channel SAR-GMTI Technique and Performance Analysis Using Eigen-Decomposition
基于协方差矩阵特征分解的多通道SAR-GMTI方法及性能分析

A multi-channel SAR-GMTI technique based on eigen-decomposition of the covariance matrix is proposed. The variation of the sum of small eigenvalues of the covariance matrix is used to detect moving targets. The radial velocity of the moving target is estimated by two steps. Firstly, using the interferometric phase of two SAR images to get the coarse radial velocity estimation, then the more precise radial velocity is obtained by searching the space-domain steering vector of the moving target. It overcomes the sensitivity of the interferometric phase to clutter and noise. The effectiveness of the presented technique is demonstrated by both simulated and measured SAR data.
