Implementation of MIMO-SAR Imaging Based on Jamming Signal

Special attention has been devoted to joint waveforms based on radar signals to mitigate the tension of spectrum resources and simultaneously play a multifunctional role. Aiming at the shortcomings of conventional detection and jamming dual-functional systems, where wide beams are difficult to detect with high accuracy, while narrow beams are difficult to cover a wide range of jamming, this letter designs a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system with jamming capabilities. The characteristic of this signal is to use MIMO system multiple antennas to transmit frequency diversity wideband code division jamming signals to effectively generate wideband suppression jamming for conventional radars, including frequency-agile radars. At the same time, the wide beam characteristics of MIMO antennas can ensure the physical range of jamming. In addition, for the imaging part, digital beamforming (DBF) technology can be used to form the beam in a specific direction at the receiving end, resulting in high resolution. Simulation experiments confirm the system's ability to achieve high-resolution imaging of specific target areas while maintaining robust jamming capabilities.
