The article considers the transformation of the back-projection method (focusing) for recovering geometry from the knowledge of the scattered field received with a multi-static radar system (multi-static radio hologram). It is shown that it can be expressed as a two-dimensional non-equidistant Discrete Fourier Transform (NDFT). An example of focusing a multi-frequency multi-static radio hologram of a flat multipoint object is given, and a reconstructed image is obtained based on the back-projection algorithm and the NDFT algorithms. A modification of NDFT based on the fast Gaussian gridding of non-uniform nodes (NuFFT), implemented in MATLAB, is used to speed up image reconstruction. A numerical experiment indicates similar reconstructed images obtained by the backpropagation method and with the two-dimensional NuFFT method. However, the NuFFT method was 740 times faster. The results show a significant reduction.
In this article a generalization of the amplitude monopulse method for angle estimation for radars with multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) elements is discussed. Bearing characteristics for sparse virtual antenna arrays are presented. A reconstructed image of the radiation source is presented for two cases of direction finding: based on calculation of the correlation integral and based on weighted sum of signals over the aperture of the virtual antenna array.
