ROPE算法在ISAR运动补偿中的应用

运动补偿是逆合成孔径雷达成像的关键。现已有许多相关算法。秩-相位估计(ROPE)是一种性能较好的相位误差估计器，正被广泛地应用于SAR图像处理。本将ROPE算法用于ISAR相位补偿，给出了具体实现的步骤，详细分析了ROPE算法在ISAR相位补偿中的性能。在ISAR数据基本符合ROPE算法模型时，ROPE算法可获得高质量的补偿效果，而且实现简单，速度快。中最后用ISAR外场实测数据比较了ROPE与其他相位补偿方法的成像结果。

ISAR MOTION COMPENSATION USING ROPE

Motion compensation is a key step for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. Many algorithms have been proposed. The rank one phase estimation (ROPE) algorithm is a good estimator for phase error widely used in SAR. The ROPE algorithm is used in ISAR phase compensation and the concrete implementation steps are presented. Subsequently, the performance of ROPE is analyzed. For ISAR data that fit the ROPE algorithm model, an excellent compensation effect can be obtained with high computation efficiency. Finally, ISAR real data are processed with ROPE and its imaging result is compared with that obtained by the modified Doppler centroid tracking (MDCT) method, which is a robust and good estimator in ISAR phase compensation.
