ISAR imaging with pseudo-coherent marine radars

Abstract

Non-coherent marine radar technology has matured over the past several decades. Researchers have developed coherent magnetron oscillator based marine radars by sampling the signals on transmit and receive [1]. We leverage this research to contribute to the science and technology of RF Tomography based upon exploitation of marine radar technology, and digital sampling / signal processing techniques. This requires many steps. First, selecting and modifying an affordable yet suitable marine radar. In this case, we employed a Furuno DRS25A. Second, by embedding an RF sampling circuit, we captured the various radar waveforms. Third, we digitized transmit and receive signals using a Signatec model PX1500 analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Next, we designed an experimental geometry to support image formation via RF Tomography. We applied Filtered Back Projection based upon the Projection-Slice Theorem, the Algebraic Reconstruction Technique, and classical Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar imaging algorithms in order to match filter data and image targets. We provide both simulation analysis and experimental results in this paper.
