Abstract

Since passive millimeter wave synthetic aperture interferometric radiometer (SAIR) has the advantages of high spatial-resolution and large field of view, it is an attractive tool for wide area surveillance. Among the SAIRs, the Rotating Scanning SAIR (RS-SAIR) with linear sparse array is a popular system with low redundancy and high reliability. According to the detection mechanism of RS-SAIR, we extend RS-SAIR to deal with higher-order moving target detection (HMTD) for the first time in this paper. In the proposed HMTD method, the 2D time-projection image is constituted by the 1D projection images measured by RS-SAIR firstly. Then, the projection trajectory of moving target can be extracted from the time-projection image. Finally, the positions and motion parameters are estimated by fitting the moving target's trajectory. Simulation results indicate that the position and motion parameters of higher-order moving target can be well estimated with high real time and accuracy by the proposed HMTD method.
