Abstract: Azimuth ambiguity caused by spectral aliasing severely degrades the quality of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. To suppress azimuth ambiguity while preserving image details as much as possible, this paper proposes an azimuth ambiguity suppression method for SAR based on time-frequency joint analysis. By exploiting the distribution differences of ambiguous signals across different sub-spectra, the method locates azimuth ambiguity in the time domain through multi-sub-spectrum change detection and fusion, followed by ambiguity suppression in the azimuth time-frequency domain. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively suppresses azimuth ambiguity while maintaining superior performance in preserving genuine targets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
