A Design Method of Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging Parameters for Space Targets

Abstract

The invention discloses a space target inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging parameter design method. The method comprises the following steps: a target running track and zenith-passing time are calculated; imaging center time is set; an azimuth angle, an elevation angle, imaging on and off time and a target slope distance are calculated; a redundant slope distance and an initial transmitting pulse width are set; a PRF is selected; whether Dc exceeds an upper limit is judged; an echo window length and Dr are calculated; whether the Dr exceeds the storage and transmission capability is judged; the echo starting time is calculated; beam pointing is adjusted; antenna gains and echo signal intensity are calculated; MGC is set; and imaging is carried out. The motion characteristics of the to-be-imaged space target and the limitations of the radar system are thoroughly considered, STK software is combined, the problems of insufficient calculation precision of target motion parameters, radar beam pointing and system parameters in the traditional space target inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging parameter design are solved, and through a mode of combining mechanical scanning and electric scanning, the beam pointing needed for space target inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging is realized, and the realization cost and the complexity are reduced.
