HIGH-RESOLUTION RADAR IMAGE FAST IMAGING FORMULA AND SIMULATION

The Fast-Imaging Formula ( FIF) enables rapid radar image simulation through One-Shot ray-tracing. However, the classical Imaging Formula is approximate results under the conditions of small angle and bandwidth. The application of FIF to wideband high-resolution radar images is subject to discussion. This study constructs simulations by employing the '6+6' Degrees of Freedom (DoF) motion model, determining the imaging plane. Utilizing the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), the range profile formula for large bandwidth is obtained, and the result is frequency dependent. According to the principle of spectrum correction, the integration is modified to obtain the image primitive suitable for high-resolution image simulation. The simulation results of the ship target model and the range profile analysis of the ray tube verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
