摘要: 提出了一种加权宽带全信号子空间时反成像方法,将扩展性目标建模为有限数量个、相互独立的点散射体构成,实现了时反成像在可疑目标区域的全信号子空间和整个宽带的累加。在实验室波导水池中,底部放置圆柱筒制造混响背景,共进行了两个实验,一是扩展性的悬浮目标位于圆柱筒附近,其回波与圆柱筒反射的混响不在同一个时间窗内,二是弱点目标回波与圆柱筒反射的混响重叠于同一个时间窗内,对所提出的方法进行强混响背景下弱悬浮目标的成像能力验证。结果表明,此方法对强混响背景下的弱悬浮目标的成像质量明显优于传统的时反成像方法。Abstract: The weighted wideband time-reversal imaging approach of full signal subspaces is proposed. Provided that the extended target is composed of an infinite number of independent scatterers, time-reversal imaging of all signal subspaces is combined over the entire bandwidth at the locations of suspected targets. On the bottom of a laboratorywater waveguide, a cylindrical shell was used to produce reverberation. Two experiments are carried out. One is that an extended target is suspended near the cylindrical shell, and then the echo seems in different time window with the reverberation reflected by the cylindrical shell. The other is that a point-like target is suspended above the cylindrical shell, thus the echo and the reverberation is in the same time window. The experimental results show that the proposed method has better imaging quality than that of the conventional time reversal imaging methods under the condition of the weak suspended target in a strong reverberation environment.
