Abstract

The signal model of wideband monopulse radar is developed according to spotlight synthetic aperture radar (SAR) geometry to study the three-dimensional (3-D) imaging for ship targets on sea surface. An efficient 3-D monopulse imaging algorithm based on multi-frame one-dimensional (1-D) high resolution range profiles (HRRP) is proposed, where no complex phase compensation is needed. Simulation results validate the algorithm and show that the reconstructed 3-D images represent more detailed backscattering characteristics of the targets, demonstrating promising features for radar recognition.
