Abstract:

In electromagnetic countermeasures circumstances, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery usually suffers from severe quality degradation from modulated interrupt sampling repeater jamming (MISRJ), which usually owes considerable coherence with the SAR transmission waveform together with periodical modulation patterns. This paper develops an MISRJ suppression algorithm for SAR imagery with online dictionary learning. In the algorithm, the jamming modulation temporal properties are exploited with extracting and sorting MISRJ slices using fast-time autocorrelation. Online dictionary learning is followed to separate real signals from jamming slices. Under the learned representation, time-varying MISRJs are suppressed effectively. Both simulated and real-measured SAR data are also used to confirm advantages in suppressing time-varying MISRJs over traditional methods.
