Clutter Suppression and Moving Target Radial Velocity Estimation Method for HRWS Multichannel System based on Subspace Projection

Ghost targets occur when moving targets are processed as stationary scene in the high-resolution and wide-swath azimuth multichannel SAR system, so moving targets require special treatment. Combining the subspace theory with the system, this paper proposes a clutter suppression method and a moving target radial velocity estimation method. The proposed clutter suppression method does not need pre-processing and it preforms better than the spacetime adaptive processing when the moving target component occupies a large proportion in the received data. And the proposed velocity estimation method has lower time complexity than the method based on the minimum entropy, so it is appropriate for the time sensitive applications. The processing of the airborne measured data verifies the effectiveness of the methods.
