Abstract

It is inevitable for the future battlefield target surveillance radar to utilize space-based platform. What's more, the higher the signal-to-clutter-noise ratio (SCNR) of the radar echo is, the more accurate information the radar will obtain from the target. Therefore, distributed spaceborne coherent aperture radar (DSCAR) technique is proposed for moving target indicator (MTI) to achieve higher SCNR. However, grating lobes and high sidelobes caused by the long baseline will degrade its detection performance. In this paper, aiming at the above problems, a new method based on Optimally Irreducible Arrays (OIAs) and Minimum Redundant Arrays (MRAs) has been proposed. Simulations are also carried out, showing the feasibility and the effectiveness of the method.
