The invention discloses a three-dimensional correlated imaging method based on
phased array radar and relates to the field of
radar imaging. The three-dimensional correlated imaging method based on the
phased array radar comprises the steps that firstly, the
antenna array surface of the
phased array radar is divided, a linear
frequency modulation signal is sent by a phased array
radar transmitter, echo signals of target scattering points are received, and the phase shifting values of the target scattering points are set; secondly,
base frequency echo signals obtained after distance pulse pressing are divided according to the distance unit; thirdly, an objective function for the
scattering coefficient vectors of the target scattering points is constructed, and the objective function is solved under the
sparse constraint condition, so that the estimated value of the
scattering coefficient vector of the target scattering point in the u distance unit is obtained; fourthly, a two-dimensional image is formed through the estimated value of the
scattering coefficient vector of the target scattering point in the u distance unit, and then a three-dimensional image is obtained by
ranking the two-dimensional images of all the distance units in the sequence the same as that of the distance units. By the adoption of the three-dimensional correlated imaging method based on the phased array radar, high-resolution three-dimensional imaging of a target is achieved.
