Abstract

The resolution of the multistatic passive radar imaging system (MPRIS) is poor due to the narrow bandwidth of the signal transmitted by illuminators of opportunity. Moreover, the inaccuracies caused by the inaccurate tracking system or the error position measurement of illuminators or receivers can deteriorate the quality of an image. To improve the performance of an MPRIS, an imaging method based on the tomographic imaging principle is presented. Then the compressed sensing technique is extended to the MPRIS to realize high-resolution imaging. Furthermore, a phase correction technique is developed for compen-sating for phase errors in an MPRIS. Phase errors can be estimated by iteratively solving an equation that is derived by minimizing the mean recovery error of the reconstructed image based on the principle of fixed-point iteration technique. The technique is nonparametric and can be used to estimate phase errors of any form. The effectiveness and convergence of the technique are confirmed by numerical simulations.
