When imaging maneuvering targets with inverse synthetic aperture ladar (ISAL), dispersion and Doppler frequency time-variation exist in the range and cross-range echo signal, respectively. To solve this problem, an ISAL imaging algorithm based on integral cubic phase function-fractional Fourier transform (ICPF-FRFT) is proposed in this paper. The accurate ISAL echo signal model is established for a space maneuvering target that quickly approximates the uniform acceleration motion. On this basis, the chirp rate of the echo signal is quickly estimated by using the ICPF algorithm, which uses the non-uniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) method for fast calculations. At the best rotation angle, the range compression is realized by FRFT and the range dispersion is eliminated. After motion compensation, separation imaging of strong and weak scattering points is realized by using ICPF-FRFT and CLEAN technique and the azimuth defocusing problem is solved. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a simulation experiment of an aircraft scattering point model and real data.

Due to the difficulty in deducing the corresponding relationship between results and parameter settings of multiple phases sectionalized modulation (MPSM) jamming, a problem occurs when obtaining the optimal local suppression jamming effect, which limits the practical application of MPSM jamming. The traditional method struggles to meet the requirements by setting fixed parameters or random parameters. Therefore, an optimization algorithm for MPSM jamming based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed in this study to produce the optimal local suppression jamming effect and determine its corresponding parameter settings. First, we analyzed the relationship between the degree of mismatch and local suppression jamming effect. Then, we set appropriate fitness function and fitness value. Finally, we used PSO to calculate parameter settings of a section situation and phase situation, which minimizes the fitness function and fitness value. The optimization algorithm avoids the tremendous computation of traversing all parameter settings, is stable, the results are repeatable, and the algorithm provides the optimal local suppression jamming effect under different conditions. The simulation experiments demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the optimization algorithm.
