Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Microwave Tomographic Imaging for Distributed Photonic Radar Network

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This paper deals with the imaging problem from data collected by means of a microwave photonics-based distributed radar network. The radar network is leveraged on a centralized architecture, which is composed of one central unit (CU) and two transmitting and receiving dual-band remote radar peripherals (RPs), it is capable of collecting monostatic and multistatic phase-coherent data. The imaging is herein formulated as a linear inverse scattering problem and solved in a regularized way through the truncated singular value decomposition inversion scheme. Specifically, two different imaging schemes based on an incoherent fusion of the tomographic images or a fully coherent data processing are herein developed and compared. Experimental tests carried out in a port scenario for imaging both a stationary and a moving target are reported to validate the imaging approach.
