Spatially-Varying Calibration of Along-Track Monopulse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery for Ground Moving Target Indication and Tracking

Abstract

In this research, we have developed an algorithm to reduce the residual artifacts of the background clutter (that is stationary targets) that appear in the MTI imagery that are generated by Global Signal Subspace Difference (GSSD) of the monostatic and bistatic images of an along-track monopulse synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. We have also established the theoretical foundation for estimating the motion track and parameters of the detected moving targets. We will show the results of these algorithms on measured SAR data.
