The invention belongs to the technical field of
radar imaging, and particularly relates to a three-dimensional imaging method based on a uniform circular ring array
radar, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the initial negative
Bessel function compensation according to the priori
pitch angle information of a target
mass center, obtaining a rough two-dimensional image, and carrying out the simple interference according to the rough two-dimensional image, and obtaining the rough
pitch angle information of each scattering point of a target; performing fine negative
Bessel function compensation according to the rough
pitch angle of each scattering point of the target to obtain an accurate two-dimensional image; performing two-step interference according to the precise two-dimensional image to obtain precise
pitch angle information of each scattering point; and selecting a receiving
array element for echo phase interference according to
error analysis. According to the invention, the distance-
azimuth angle two-dimensional imaging performance can be improved and the echo phase discontinuity can be reduced; the
pitch angle of each scattering point of the target is accurately reconstructed under the condition that
image registration and
phase unwrapping are not carried out; meanwhile, the receiving array elements used for echo phase interference are optimized so as to minimize the influence of each
error factor on the
pitch angle reconstruction error.
