Improved Terahertz InISAR Imaging Method Based on Joint Processing of Dual-frequency Data

Abstract

To improve the imaging accuracy of Interferometry Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (InISAR), in this paper, we propose a novel method based on the joint processing of dual-frequency data. First, we divide the radar echo into two parts in the fast-time domain, then we apply the conventional InISAR method to each dataset. By comparing and analyzing the imaging results of the two parts, we can identify and remove redundant and bad pixels. Using the proposed joint processing method, we obtained the InISAR imaging results of a scatter model of an airplane and calculated the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively improve imaging accuracy with different Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR).
