Abstract

Research on digital modeling and realization of non-correlation measurement frame for compressive sensing (CS) is conducted aiming at applying CS to imaging radar. FPGA based Analogue-to-Information Converter (AIC) is proposed and implemented. Real measurement data from AIC hardware platform and simulation data from AIC software platform are compressed to get range profiles, and the results agree well with what expected. The results show that the noise and synchronization error in real system deteriorate the performance of AIC thus CS remarkably.
