In light of the sparsity of radar target reflectivity, two imaging methods based on CS, termed the CS-based 2D joint imaging algorithm and the CS-based 2D decoupled imaging algorithm, are proposed. These methods incorporate the coherent mixing operation into the sparse dictionary, and take random measurements in both range and azimuth directions to get high resolution radar images, thus can remarkably reduce the data rate and simplify the hardware design of the radar system while maintaining imaging quality. Ex- periments from both simulated data and measured data in the anechoic chamber show that the proposed imaging methods can get more focused images than the traditional fast Fourier trans- form method. Wherein the joint algorithm has stronger robustness and can provide clearer inverse synthetic aperture radar images, while the decoupled algorithm is computationally more efficient but has slightly degraded imaging quality, which can be improved by increasing measurements or using a robuster recovery algorithm nevertheless.展开更多

Recently, it has been shown that CS can solve some signal processing problems given incoherent measurements without ever reconstructing the signals. Moreover, the number of measurements necessary for most compressive signal processing application such as detection, estimation and classification is lower than that necessary for signal reconstruction. Based on CS, this paper presents a novel identification algorithm of frequency hopping (FH) signals. Given the hop interval, the FH signals can be identified and the hopping frequencies can be estimated with a tiny number of measurements. Simulation results demonstrate that the method is effective and efficient.展开更多
