Abstract: In this paper, passive multistatic radar imaging based on compressed sensing joint sparse aperture autofocus is presented. The method uses a point spread function of the different opportunistic illuminator to construct a reasonable sparse basis matrix, and turns the point-enhanced problem into an optimization problem by using the lp norm method. Meanwhile an optimization problem in terms of phase error is established. The quasi-Newton method with a phase error update scheme is used to obtain the increment of phase error. The simulation shows good performance of this method at small rotating angle and in the presence of phase error.
