Wavenumber-Domain Joint Estimation of Rotation Parameters and Scene Center Offset for Large-Angle ISAR Cross-Range Scaling

While the wavenumber-domain approach enables large-angle inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) cross-range scaling, its practical application remains constrained by the target’s non-uniform rotation and scene center offset (SCO). In response to this issue, this paper introduces a novel large-angle...

description While the wavenumber-domain approach enables large-angle inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) cross-range scaling, its practical application remains constrained by the target’s non-uniform rotation and scene center offset (SCO). In response to this issue, this paper introduces a novel large-angle ISAR cross-range scaling method through a joint estimation method based on the wavenumber domain. A non-uniform rotational wavenumber-domain signal model with SCO is developed. Utilizing this model and the sensitivity of wavenumber-domain imaging to SCO, a joint estimation algorithm that combines particle swarm optimization (PSO) and image entropy evaluation is proposed, achieving accurate parameter estimation. Leveraging the estimated parameters, the range and cross-range scaling factors in the wavenumber-domain imaging are derived, facilitating ISAR cross-range scaling with higher accuracy than the traditional method. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method are validated under various conditions, through scattering point and electromagnetic computing simulation.
