Description
Summary:Forward-looking multi-channel SAR imaging suffers from ambiguity regarding left and right echoes. To deblur the imaging process, spatial resources must be used, which make the imaging process more complex than the general side-looking SAR. In complex electromagnetic environments, it is very difficult to obtain forward-looking SAR images without interference or ambiguity. In this paper, we present an adaptive discriminant suppression algorithm that addresses deception jamming based on Azimuth ADaptive Beam Forming (AADBF). First, we use the AADBF technique to cancel the multi-channel received echo signal and retain the deception jamming samples. Then, we use the threshold detection method to identify the pixel location of the deception jamming on high-resolution SAR images. Finally, we apply adaptive spatial filtering to pixels with interference to achieve anti-deception jamming. Simulation results show that this method can effectively identify and suppress deception jamming, while realizing forward-looking SAR non-interference focusing imaging.
