High Resolution Radar Imaging
Abstract
The goal of this project is to formulate and investigate new approaches for forming images of radar targets from spotlight-mode, delay- doppler measurements. These measurements could be acquired with a high- resolution radar-imaging system operating with an optical- or radio-frequency carrier. Two approaches are under study. The first is motivated by an image- reconstruction method used in radionuclide imaging called the confidence- weighted algorithm; here, we refer to this approach as the chirp-rate modulation approach. The second approach is based on more fundamental principles which starts with a mathematical model that accurately describes the physics of an imaging radar-system and then uses statistical-estimation theory with this model to derive methods for producing target images; we refer to this as the estimation-theory approach.
