With the development of active deceptive interference technology, single-parameter agility can no longer meet the requirements, making multi-parameter joint agility one of the main research directions. However, inter-pulse carrier frequency agility can cause azimuth Doppler chirp rate variation, making azimuth compression difficult and compensation computationally intensive, thus hindering imaging. Additionally, pulse repetition interval (PRI) agility leads to non-uniform azimuth sampling, severely deteriorating image quality. To address these issues, this paper proposes a multi-parameter agile SAR imaging scheme based on traditional frequency domain imaging algorithms. This scheme can handle joint agility of pulse width, chirp rate polarity, carrier frequency, and PRI, with relatively low computational complexity, making it feasible for engineering implementation. By inverting SAR images, the echoes with multi-parameter joint agility are obtained, and active deceptive interference signals are added for processing. The interference-suppressed imaging results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Furthermore, simulation results of point targets with multiple parameters under the proposed processing algorithm show that the peak sidelobe ratio (PSLR) and integrated sidelobe ratio (ISLR) are improved by 12 dB and 10 dB, respectively, compared to the traditional fixed waveform scheme.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16173303","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]],"date-time":"2024-09-05T11:15:59Z","timestamp":1725534959000},"page":"3303","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Research on SAR Active Anti-Jamming Imaging Based on Joint Random Agility of Inter-Pulse Multi-Parameters in the Presence of Active Deception"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-1465-3990","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shilong","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"School of Information and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaobei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luhao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guanglei","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4080","DOI":"10.1109\/JSTARS.2023.3268526","article-title":"Integrating Agile Waveforms With DBF for HRWS SAR Imagery and Adaptive Jamming Suppression","volume":"16","author":"Dai","year":"2023","journal-title":"IEEE J.
