III. R ADAR C OINCIDENCE I MAGING
The previous Gedankenexperiment, concisely stating radar
coincidence imaging, borrows the principle of coincidence
imaging where target spatial pattern is obtained based on the
signal spatial variety in the imaging plane. Here, classical
coincidence imaging is believed as the derivation of radar coincidence imaging, however, some slight differences between
them might obscure the identity of the two cases. As depicted
in Fig. 4, the extraction of target spatial pattern from the
information superposition (ensemble intensity fluctuation It ,
or receiving signal Sr (t)) in the two imaging methods both
have the mode of the correlation between signal A and B, but
two visible differences in the imaging process exist between
them. First, for radar coincidence imaging, A and B are
detecting signal and receiving signal, respectively. However,
for optical coincidence, they are reference signal (intensity)
and receiving signal (intensity), respectively. By contrast with
the imaging in radar system, a reference channel is added in
optical system. Second, radar coincidence imaging requires the
time-space independence of signal A whereas the optical one
requires the spatial independence between A and C.
In terms of the first difference, the thermal field E t (x t ) and
Er (xr ) have the same source, the same propagation distance,
and the same propagation function. Hence, they are totally the
same to each other before the target intervention. As a result,
the intensity fluctuation Ir (xr ) is equal to It (x t ), as well.
Thus, Ir (xr )It (x t ) in (11), which has the form of spatial
cross-correlation actually also presents the self-correlation of
the detecting signal
It (xr )It (x t ) = Ir (xr )It (x t ) Ic (xr x t ). (15)
Then, T (xr ) It (x t )It /Ic . Thus, classical coincidence
imaging basically employs the correlation between detecting
signal and receiving signal, as well. The reason why classical
coincidence imaging does not directly use E t (x t ) for correlation is that thermal fields of a fully incoherent source vary
so sharply and randomly that the estimation of the field or
intensity distribution on the detecting plane is very difficult.

Furthermore, as the ensemble average, Ir (xr , t)
It (x t , t + ) is derived by calculating the mean value of a
number of samples of Ir (xr , t) and It (x t , t + ). From the
view of radar signal processing, these samples are generally
regarded as time sequences. Then rewrite (17) as

Equation (31) shows that radar coincidence imaging technique can obtain the target image as long as the transmitting
signals satisfy the condition in (20). This condition ensures
the detecting signal has a high-level variety, namely, the timespace independence. Therefore, radar coincidence imaging is
summarized as follows:
Radar coincidence imaging employs a multitransmitting configuration to transmit time-independent and grouporthogonal signals that ensure a target area covered by detecting signals with the time-space independent characteristic.
Then the target scattering distribution will be extracted via
filtering the receiving signal with the known distribution of
this detecting signal, whose independent degree determines
the imaging resolution.
2268
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING, VOL. 52, NO. 4, APRIL 2014
The essence of radar coincidence imaging is straightforward. The transmitting waveform with the characteristic of
time-independence and group-orthogonality increases the spatial variety of wavefronts, which makes the scatterers within a
beam reflect echoes of different waveforms according to their
respective locations. Furthermore, the distribution of detecting
signals covering the target can be calculated based on the
known transmitting signals and the estimated target center, and
then is used as a priori information to reconstruct the target
image.
Several basic issues about radar coincidence imaging should
be clarified here.
a) Differences between radar coincidence imaging and
conventional radar imaging: In conventional cases, the wavefront on a target keeps marked correlation when radar transmits coherent signals. Target scatterers at different positions are illuminated by the signals of almost identical
amplitude, frequency, and phase. Consequently, echoes of
these scatterers have the same waveform. Thus, conventional
radar imaging resolves scatterers by extracting the differences emerging in time-delay and Doppler gradient of their
echoes.
For radar coincidence imaging, the wavefront on a target
exhibits such a considerable variety that it approximately has
spatial independent characteristic. Thus, echoes of scatterers
within a beam do not just differ from each other upon timedelay and Doppler frequency. Their waveforms are highly
different, above all, which provides enough information for
resolving scatterers within a radar beam. Especially, this
resolvable characteristic does not need aspect-angle integration, and it could be achieved using only a single returned
pulse. Therefore, it can be viewed that the target scattering distribution here is sampled via the various spatial pattern of detecting signals. The higher independent degree the
detecting signals have, the better resolution the images can
achieve.
Doppler frequency remains the significant feature for radar
receiving signals, but will not be processed as the key point
to resolve targets in radar coincidence imaging where whether
scatters could be distinguished are determined by their waveform independent degree. Consequently, some fundamental
topics or conventional factors with respect to the analysis of
time-delay and Doppler resolution might be inapposite for the
discussion of radar coincidence imaging. Take the ambiguity
function for an instance, which is generally a major tool to
characterize radar performance. Certainly, the ambiguity function in radar coincidence
can be given as the definition

Now we simulate the detecting signals SI (r , t) in the imagcorrelation due to the regularly varying parameters. On the

where (x target (i ), ytarget (i )) is the position of the i th target
scatterer, (x image (i ), yimage (i )) is the position of the imaging
cell center corresponding to the i th scatterer, l ximage and
l yimage are the lengths of the imaging cell in x-axis and y-axis
direction, respectively.
The imaging results are given in Fig. 13(a) and (b). We
found the pseudo-inverse method was so sensitive to error that
even a bias of 1% will make the imaging result completely
blurred. In practice, the position error is most likely larger
than 1%, reaching the maximum 50% on the imaging cell
edges. Consequently, the method is impractical for application
because targets rarely match the centers of imaging cells. Even
if scatterers match the centers perfectly at first, then the results
will be definitely wrong if the target moves during the imaging
time. It destroys the possibility of radar coincidence imaging to
process moving targets and limits its operational application.
Since the pseudo-inverse method is abortive in actual imaging
scenarios, we consider solving the problem using optimized
algorithms. Ideally, Sr S = 0. Thus, Sr S could
be used as an objective function. The optimized algorithm will
give an optimal , which minimizes the objective function.
After the tryout of several types of optimized algorithms, the
genetic algorithm (GA) [32] turns out to be a method with both

for regular ISAR under the condition of the same CIT. On the
other hand, this biggest advantage could also be viewed that
P-transmitter radar array enhances the azimuth resolution for
P times by decreasing the wavelength of the entire array to
the 1/P of that for regular ISAR.
Thus, this experiment simulates the optimal range-Doppler
imaging of a ten-transmitter array by implementing the regular
one through a much shorter wavelength of array = /10 =
c/(10 f c ). It would be reasonable to compare the performance
of imaging moving targets between radar coincidence imaging
and the multitransmitter range-Doppler imaging under such a
conclusion.
Then the three imaging scenes simulated in this experiment
are: 1) the target is stationary; 2) the target moves uniformly
with a rotational velocity of = 5/s; and 3) the target rotates
with a velocity of = 5/s and an acceleration of a =
20/s2 . In all the three cases, the rotation vector has the same
orientation to Z-axis of the XY coordinate in Fig. 11(a). The
imaging results are shown in Fig. 14.
In radar coincidence imaging, the imaging region I is 5 5,
and is discretized to 64 64 imaging cells. Then, the pulse
number for ISAR imaging is 64, as well. According to parameters in Fig. 11(b), a pulse provides 105 (Ns = f s T p = 105 )
samples, which is much bigger than the required number
of 64 64 = 4096 to perform radar coincidence imaging.
Especially, we utilize 4096 seriate samples of the receiving
signal here. Then, the imaging time of radar coincidence
imaging is 4096/f S = 2.048 s, whereas it is 64/ f T = 0.107 s
for the range-Doppler imaging.
Here, we employ the entropy of an image to evaluate these
imaging results. The entropy of an image is defined in [35]

Smaller entropy implies a higher degree of sharpness, which
figures better imaging quality. The entropy of the images in
Fig. 14 is given in Table I.
From the imaging results of the stationary target shown
in Fig. 14, tomography and ISAR cannot herein resolve the
scatterers at the same range bin due to the absence of a relative
motion that can produce high-resolution via generating big
aspect-variation. On the other side, radar coincidence imaging
can resolve all scatterers even for the stationary target, which
confirms that its resolution does not rely on the Doppler
gradient or target motion. Additionally, both Fig. 14 and
Table I show that radar coincidence imaging is superior to the
other two methods on the performance of processing maneuvering targets. Because of the considerably short imaging time,
radar coincidence imaging is hardly affected by the target
nonuniform motion. However, for range-Doppler imaging,
the rotational acceleration makes the Doppler frequency vary
against time and widens the frequency spectrum in the crossrange.
C. Experiment 3: Impact of Noise on Radar
Coincidence Imaging
In this simulation, we investigate the robustness of radar
coincidence imaging with respect to Gauss noise. Herein, the
imaging region I is 32 32 m, and discretized to 64 64
imaging cells, and the target model remains the same as the
one in Experiment 1. The imaging quality is going to be
compared under different signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). The
imaging results without noise and the ones under the SNR of
20, 10, and 5 dB are shown in Fig. 15.
The resolution and the reconstruction correctness are
unchanged where the SNR is 20 dB. The target image can
be well rebuilt at a relative high SNR. Because the imaging
spots corresponding to the scatterers are not blurred under the
SNR of 10 and 5 dB, the resolution could be regarded as of no
deterioration even under a low SNR. However, the positions
are wrong estimated and the reconstruction correctness gets
worse. As mentioned in Experiment 1, the images are rebuilt
using the optimized algorithm, which yields an optimal
minimizing the objective function Sr S . In the ideal
case, the optimal solution corresponds to the correct scatterer
