Detection, location, and imaging of fast moving targets using multifrequency antenna array SAR

In this correspondence, we generalize the linear antenna array synthetic aperture radar (SAR) from transmitting single-wavelength signals to transmitting multiple-wavelength signals (called multifrequency antenna array SAR). We show that, using multifrequency antenna array SAR, not only the clutters can be suppressed but also the locations of both slow and fast moving targets can be accurately estimated: A robust Chinese remainder theorem (CRT) is developed and used for the location estimation of fast and slowly moving targets. Simulations of SAR imaging of ground moving targets are presented to show the effectiveness of the multifrequency antenna array SAR imaging algorithm.
