Using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to detect ground moving targets and estimate motion parameters is an important function of modern multi-function SAR.

[0003] SAR ground moving target detection method is closely related to the SAR system: the system is relatively simple, and the traditional frequency domain filtering method cannot effectively suppress the wide-band ground clutter formed by azimuth motion, resulting in poor ground moving target detection performance. Other detection methods in the image domain or range Doppler domain, such as WVD, RDM, single-view image sequence method, etc., have relatively complex algorithms and high requirements for signal-to-clutter ratio. In addition, the non-ideal motion of the SAR platform will have a greater impact on the algorithm, affecting its use in practical application systems; multi-antenna systems combined with DPCA, STAP and other detection methods can eliminate ground clutter and improve ground motion detection performance, but multi-antenna SAR systems are complex and the flight platforms that can be installed are greatly limited.
