Abstract

Abstract

One key of Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) interferometry is the effective separation of the echoes originating from different transmissions. A multidimensional waveform design method for MIMO SAR interferometry is presented. By exploiting the wavenumber shift and Doppler-band shift phenomenon in the design of transmitted signals, the echo separation can be efficiently accomplished via the filtering operations in range-frequency domain and azimuth-spatial domain. Such waveform design can meet the requirement of MIMO SAR imaging on integrated cross interference level without reduce the swath width. Such waveform design also improves the coherence between the independent observations and enlarges the unambiguity range of height estimation. The results of the numerical simulations demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed waveform design method.
