An Efficient Method for Single-Channel SAR Target Reconstruction Under Severe Deceptive Jamming

Deceptive jamming can severely degrade synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image quality by introducing high-fidelity false targets. In this letter, a simultaneous deceptive jamming suppression and target reconstruction method for a single-channel SAR system is proposed. The signal model is formulated by constructing a joint dictionary based on different time-frequency distributions of the actual targets and false targets. Then, an efficient algorithm is proposed based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMMs) to simultaneously recover the actual and false targets. Several strategies are also proposed to accelerate the computation. Compared with other existing single-channel SAR deceptive jamming suppression methods, the proposed method has lower reconstruction error and computational load. Simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm.
