According to extensive reports, reducing the number of sampling points of a radar in space can greatly reduce the amount of data. However, when spatial sparse sampling is carried out, a ghost normally appears in the imaging results due to the high side lobes generated in the azimuth. To address this issue, a technique is introduced in this paper to recover the blank data through amplitude and phase compensation based on the correlation between sparse array sampling through adjacent points. Firstly, the data sampled by the sparse array is compressed in the range direction to obtain the expected data slices in the same range direction. Then, the blank element of the slice is compensated for with amplitude and phase to obtain full aperture data. Finally, the matched filter method is used to aid in the image reconstruction. The simulation results verified that the method proposed in this paper can effectively reconstruct the image under two kinds of sparse sampling conditions. Thus, a simple single-input single-output (SISO) synthetic aperture radar imaging test bench is established. Compared with the results of a 1 mm (1\/4 \u03bb) sampling interval, the quality of the reconstructed image under the condition of a 4 mm (1 \u03bb) sampling interval still stands using our proposed method. Demonstrated by the experiment, the normalized root-mean-square error(NMSE) is 5.75%. Additionally, when the spatial sampling points are sampled randomly with 30% of the full sampling condition, this method can also restore and reconstruct the image with high quality. Due to the decrease of sampling points, the data volume can be reduced, which is beneficial for improving the scanning speed and alleviating the pressure of data transmission for near-field high resolution SAR imaging systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22155548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,26]],"date-time":"2022-07-26T00:17:27Z","timestamp":1658794647000},"page":"5548","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Near-Field High-Resolution SAR Imaging with Sparse Sampling Interval"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Chengyi","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2885-6102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leijun","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212000, China"}]},{"given":"Xue","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3459-3978","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianfeng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"148336","DOI":"10.1109\/ACCESS.2019.2946736","article-title":"Review of active millimeter wave imaging techniques for personnel security screening","volume":"7","author":"Wang","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Access"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"77","DOI":"10.1109\/TIM.2016.2620778","article-title":"Millimeter wave reflectometry and imaging for noninvasive diagnosis of skin burn injuries","volume":"66","author":"Gao","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
