Abstract
A sparse imaging-based clutter suppression method for one channel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is proposed in this paper. The Doppler characteristic differences between the radar received signal of clutter and moving targets are utilized in this method. A joint projection operator is formulated, and the norm constraint is employed to realize and promote clutter suppression. The reconstructed MT results with suppressed clutter can be applied to moving target detection and imaging. Numerical simulation can verify the validity and robustness of the proposed methodology.
