Abstract

This paper successfully implements compressed sensing (CS) to a near-field wideband 3-D synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging system. SAR data are measured at a low percentage of random-selected positions on a uniform grid of planar aperture in the strip map mode. the near-field 3-D range migration algorithm (RMA) is used in combination with the CS principle to reconstruct the 3-D image via l 1 regularized least-square approach. Experiments were performed with Q-band stepped-frequency monostatic strip map SAR imaging system on a blue foam embedded with eight rubber pads and one copper square chip. the results of the experiments show near-field 3-D image of the specimen under test (SUT) can be reconstructed efficiently from low percentage of the full measurement positions, which largely lessens the data collection load. the reconstructed image was better focused and denoised. © 2012 IEEE.
