Design and implementation of spaceborne SAR radio frequency interference detection and suppression system

Abstract

Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an active radar system carried on a satellite, with the help of synthetic aperture technology to achieve all-day, all-weather, high-resolution imaging, it has been widely used in military reconnaissance, resource exploration, deep space exploration and other fields. As the electromagnetic environment becomes more and more complex, spaceborne SAR is more likely to receive radio frequency interference (RFI) from other radar equipment in the working frequency band, which will affect the interpretation of SAR images and lead to image quality degradation. Although there are endless methods for RFI detection and suppression, each method has its limitations and can only deal with specific interference scenarios. A unified, robust and high-precision SAR interference detection and suppression platform is urgently needed. Based on SAR signal processing technology, this paper uses multiple methods to jointly design a unified high-robust system for SAR data containing different types of RFI, and realizes efficient detection and suppression of spaceborne SAR RFI. The popularization and application of this system is of great significance to improve the anti-interference ability of SAR system, improve the processing efficiency of a large number of SAR data in complex scenes and ensure the accuracy of data.
