Abstract:

This paper focuses on the problem of solving high resolution wide swath (HRWS) SAR imaging of sea surface using mono-static SAR and proposes a compressed sensing imaging method based on Markov chain. This method is inspired by the fact that target of sea surface usually owns a sparse distribution. Firstly, the wide swath sea scene is divided into several sub scenes. Secondly, a few pulses were used to generate a range profile, and the range profile is used to obtain the target number in each sub scenes. After that the radar scanning probability can be calculated using the target number. The radar then scan each sub scene based on the scanning probability. Thirdly, an improved compressed sensing algorithm is utilized to reconstruct each sub scenes; the whole wide swath image is united by putting all the sub scenes together. The proposed method can get a wide swath image without reducing the resolution of the radar. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is proved by the simulation results.
