基于时频定位和边缘陷波的SAR图像射频干扰抑制方法

      SAR image radio frequency interference suppression method based on time-frequency location and edge notch

      • 摘要: 面对复杂的空间电磁环境,合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar, SAR)易受到同频段的射频干扰(Radio Frequency Interference, RFI),严重影响SAR图像的判读和解译。传统的瞬时谱陷波方法实现方便,但由于其在时频图上通过阈值判定进行干扰陷波,没有考虑时频图中残余的干扰分量,导致抑制效果不佳。针对这一问题,本文提出一种基于时频定位和边缘陷波的RFI抑制方法。首先,在二维时域进行RFI检测,对存在干扰的距离向回波进行短时傅里叶变换得到时频图。在此基础上,根据拉依达准则提取得到干扰点集,利用深度优先搜索算法对其进行粗分类,并通过交叉检测和解交叉得到干扰条带。其次通过检测干扰条带的边界实现干扰条带边缘陷波。最后,对干扰抑制后的时频图进行短时傅里叶逆变换,并与未干扰回波合并,得到干扰抑制后的SAR图像。在仿真和实测SAR数据上的实验结果表明,提出的边缘陷波法适用于不同场景及多种RFI类型,且在不同干信比条件下均有效地剔除了残余干扰分量,取得了比经典的频域陷波法和瞬时谱陷波法更优的干扰抑制性能。

         

        Abstract: Faced with an increasingly complex electromagnetic environment of space, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is vulnerable to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) in the same frequency band, which seriously affects the interpretation of SAR images. The traditional instantaneous spectral notch method is simple to implement, but it conducts interference notch on the time-frequency diagram by threshold value. Therefore, the interference suppression effect is not good because of no considering the residual interference component in the time-frequency diagram. To this problem, this paper presents a method of SAR image radio frequency interference suppression based on time-frequency location and edge notch. First, RFI detection is carried out in the two-dimensional time domain. The time-frequency diagrams are obtained by discrete Short-time Fourier transform(STFT) for those disturbed range echoes. Second, interference points in the time-frequency diagram are extracted by Pauta criterion which are sorted roughly by Depth First Search algorithm. Then different inference strips are obtained by detection and unlocking of decussation. After detecting the edges of strips, the edge notch of interference strips is achieved. Last, the suppressed time-frequency diagram is inversely converted to range echo. The finally suppressed SAR image is obtained by imaging echoes which are composed of the suppressed range echoes and the originally undisturbed range echoes. The experimental results on simulated and measured SAR data show that the edge notch method is suitable for different scenarios and various types of RFI. The residual interference components are effectively eliminated under different jam-to-signal ratios which certificates that the method presented in this paper achieves better suppression efficiency than frequency notch method and instantaneous spectral notch method.
