The invention relates to an ultrahigh-sensitivity
radiation source detection method, which comprises the following steps of: receiving an initial
signal by adopting an array antenna, completing comprehensive aperture electromagnetic
imaging processing to obtain a
radiation source
energy distribution image, extracting the
signal-to-
noise ratio of each pixel point in the
radiation source
energy distribution image, and determining whether the target is an effective target or not through threshold detection; if the effective target is detected, recording the position, the
processing frequency, the bandwidth and the time width of the
signal; if no effective signal is detected, traversing the
signal processing bandwidth and the
time domain accumulation time of the synthetic aperture electromagnetic
imaging processing, carrying out the synthetic aperture electromagnetic
imaging processing until an effective target can be detected, and recording the position, the
processing frequency, the bandwidth and the time width of the signal; a
target signal incoming wave
direction angle and a target position are extracted based on a radiation source
energy distribution image, coherent synthesis of N sub-array sampling signals is completed based on the incoming wave
direction angle and position parameters of the N sub-arrays, and parameter measurement is completed based on a synthesis signal.
