Fig. 3(a) is a three-dimensional scatter diagram of a simulated airplane target, and fig. 3(b) (c) (d) is a three-dimensional view of the simulated airplane target under a full aperture condition. The aircraft flies perpendicular to the 10-transmitter 6-receiver MIMO linear array at a speed v of 200 m/s. The radar emission signal parameters are as follows: the center frequency is 10GHz, the bandwidth is 150MHz, the slow time sampling frequency is 80Hz, and the number of the step frequency signals is 60. The 10-transmitter 6-receiver array can be equivalent to 60 transceiving shared array elements, the full aperture data of each equivalent transceiving shared array element comprises 60 pulses, and each pulse comprises 60 sampling points.
And respectively and randomly extracting 30, 20 and 15 pulses in three dimensions of the full-aperture data to simulate sparse echo data with sparsity of 50%, 33.3% and 25% in the three dimensions. And respectively smoothing l by using a conventional range-Doppler (RD) method and a multi-dimensional SL0 method0Norm (MD-SL0) method (Hu X, Tong N, Wang H, et al, multiple-input-multiple-output radial super resolution on multiple smooth 0[ J-SL 0 ]]Journal of Applied Remote Sensing,2016,10(3):035017.) and the present invention performed ISAR imaging on this sparse data, the resulting ISAR images are shown in FIG. 4(a) (b) (c), respectively. As can be seen from fig. 4, the ISAR image obtained by the RD method is severely defocused under the influence of the side lobes and grating lobes generated under the sparse echo condition. The MD-SL0 method and the image obtained by the method have good effect, which shows that the method effectively inhibits the sidelobe and grating lobe interference introduced by sparse echo. However, the MD-SL0 algorithm has smaller image entropy and shorter calculation time, and shows better imaging performance.
TABLE 1
Table 1 shows the entropy and computation time of the ISAR images obtained by the two methods under random sparse sampling conditions to further compare the performances of the two methods. As can be seen from the table, the image entropy obtained by the method is lower, the calculation time is shorter, and the ISAR image obtained by the method is better in focusing effect and higher in calculation efficiency.

Randomly extracting 20 pulses from three dimensions in the original data to simulate sparse echo data with sparsity of 25%, and adding white Gaussian noise with signal-to-noise ratio of-5 dB, 0dB and 10dB mean value of zero. And ISAR imaging is carried out on the sparse data by respectively adopting a traditional RD method, an MD-SL0 method and the method of the invention, and the obtained ISAR three-dimensional images are respectively shown as (a) (b) (c) of FIG. 5. As can be seen from fig. 5(a), (b), and (c), the ISAR image obtained by the RD method is severely defocused under the influence of side lobes, grating lobes, and noise generated by the sparse echo. The degree of focus of the image obtained by the MD-SL0 method is also reduced to a certain degree due to the influence of noise. The method is minimally affected by noise and has the highest imaging quality, and therefore the robustness is better compared with the MD-SL0 method.
Table 2 shows the entropy and the calculation time of the ISAR images obtained by the two methods under the condition of sparsity of 25% and different signal-to-noise ratios, so as to further compare the performances of the two methods. As can be seen from the table, the image entropy obtained by the method is lower, the calculation time is shorter, and the robustness to noise is better.
And further partially verifying the performance of the algorithm by using the Yak-42 airplane measured data. The radar signal parameters are as follows: the center frequency is 5.52GHz, the bandwidth is 400MHz, and the pulse width is 25.6 mus. The full aperture radar echo contains 256 pulses, each pulse containing 256 sampling points. And (3) extracting 96 pulses and 128 fast time signals by adopting a random sampling mode to simulate two-dimensional echo data with the sparsity of 37.5% and 50% respectively. Fig. 6(a) is a reference of an ISAR image of an object under the complete data condition as an ISAR imaging result under the random sampling condition. Fig. 6(b), fig. 6(c) and fig. 6(d) respectively show that the RD algorithm, the MD-SL0 method and the method of the present invention obtain ISAR images. From fig. 5, it can be known that the image obtained by the RD algorithm is greatly defocused, and compared with the MD-SL0 method, the method of the present invention has fewer error points and sharper image.
FIG. 7 shows the result of adding Gaussian white noise with a signal-to-noise ratio of 0dB to the two-dimensional echo. Fig. 7(a) is a reference of an ISAR image of an object under the complete data condition as an ISAR imaging result under the random sampling condition. Fig. 7(b), fig. 7(c) and fig. 7(d) respectively show that the RD algorithm, the MD-SL0 method and the method of the present invention obtain ISAR images. As can be seen from FIG. 7, compared with the MD-SL0 method, the method has the advantages of less image error points, better image focusing effect and better noise robustness.
In conclusion, the invention can effectively realize imaging under the condition of MIMO-ISAR multi-dimensional data sparse sampling, and compared with the existing MD-SL0 algorithm, the algorithm has higher calculation efficiency, better robustness and stronger engineering practicability.
