Generating a Super-resolution Radar Angular Spectrum Using Physiological Component Analysis

抄録

In this study, we propose a method for generating an angular spectrum using array radar and physiological component analysis. We develop physiological component analysis to separate radar echoes from multiple body positions, where echoes are phase-modulated by propagating pulse waves. Assuming that the pulse wave displacements at multiple body positions are constant multiples of a time-shifted waveform, the method estimates echoes using a simplified mathematical model. We exploit the mainlobe and nulls of the directional patterns of the physiological component analysis to form an angular spectrum. We applied the proposed method to simulated data to demonstrate that it can generate a super-resolution angular spectrum.
