Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Methods for Terrestrial and Spaceborne Surveillance Applications

本文主要研究利用逆合成孔径雷达(ISAR)技术对运动目标进行成像和跟踪。该项目的主要目标是开发ISAR算法，为地面和空间平台提供更高的系统性能。最初的系统规格将与温哥华的MDA系统公司一起制定。一旦算法被优化，将在实验室中开发测试设置，以便获得真实世界的雷达测量结果，并使用所开发的算法对其进行处理，以演示完整的系统功能。MDA系统工程师将参与整个项目。MDASystems将获得超出项目生命周期的直接利益。在短期内，该项目为MDA提供了一个独特的机会，可以将ISAR成像方法用于其监视系统。

This research focuses on imaging and tracking of moving objects using inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR)techniques. The primary objective of this project is the development of ISAR algorithms that produce highsystem performance for terrestrial and spaceborne platforms. Initial system specifications will be developedalongside MDA Systems, Vancouver. Once the algorithms are optimized test setups will be developed in thelab in order to get real-world radar measurements and process them with the developed algorithms in order todemonstrate full system functionality. MDA Systems engineers will be engaged throughout the project. MDASystems will receive direct benefits extending beyond the lifespan of the project. In the short term, the projectprovides MDA with a unique opportunity to use ISAR imaging methods for their surveillance systems.
