Abstract

Wide-band interference (WBI) is a critical issue for synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which may severely affect the imaging quality of SAR systems. To suppress WBI effectively, a novel interference suppression algorithm based on robust principal component analysis (RPCA) in time-frequency-pulse (TF-P) domain is proposed. For SAR echoes in TF-P domain, there are two useful properties: 1) The TF characteristic of useful signal in adjacent pulse are similar, indicating that useful signal has low-rank property; 2) Due to its variation of position and sparsely distrusted in TF-P domain, WBI has sparse characteristic. According to these properties, RPCA method is applied to decompose the TF-P matrix into a low-rank matrix (i.e. useful signal) and a sparse matrix (i.e. WBI). Finally, the WBIs can be reconstructed and subtracted from the echoes to realize the interference suppression. The experimental results of simulated data demonstrate that the proposed algorithm not only can suppress interference effectively, but also preserve the useful information as much as possible.
