The invention relates to the field of
radar imaging, in particular to an SAR two-dimensional imaging method and
system based on a vortex electromagnetic wave. The imaging method comprises the steps that according to the characteristic of the vortex electromagnetic wave, in combination with a geometrical relationship and work mode of traditional SAR imaging, a new-
system radar imaging model is constructed, transmitting and receiving
modes of the vortex electromagnetic wave are selected, scene,
radar and target parameters are set, and after a transmitted
signal is radiated by an array antenna and interacts with a target, an echo equation is obtained through derivation; in the distance direction, by designing and generating a
signal with a large time-bandwidth product, target distance-direction high-resolution information is acquired. Based on a target information add-in item introduced into an echo by the vortex electromagnetic wave, a
criterion function representing that the OAM
mode number carried by the vortex electromagnetic wave changes with
slow time is mainly designed; finally, vortex SAR two-dimensional imaging based on the orbital
angular momentum is achieved, and the new-
system imaging radar with combination of the vortex electromagnetic wave and an SAR
imaging technology is utilized for achieving high-
azimuth-resolution two-dimensional imaging.
