摘要

This letter deals with the issue of moving-target relocation in wide-area ground moving-target indication for dual-channel radar systems. Due to channel mismatch, along-track baseline error, the existence of across-track baseline, etc., it is difficult to accurately relocate the detected targets. In this letter, we propose a new knowledge-based (KB) method for target relocation. The key idea of the proposed method is to use such knowledge that a moving target and its neighboring clutter, which is situated at the same azimuth angular position and the same range cell as this target in the observed scene, have the same interferometric phase. This new KB method, as an indirect one, does not employ the conventional relocation formula and therefore is not influenced by most of (if not all) interferometric phase errors. Experimental results from real radar data demonstrate a fairly high degree of target relocation accuracy.
