Abstract
An imaging method using a doppler radar wherein the pointing direction in transmission (d) is modified from recurrence to recurrence; each detection block of duration T comprises a periodic repetition of a number C of pointing cycles, each of these cycles comprising a number P of recurrences, the set of these P recurrences covering the Dpointing directions (d) of the set; the order of the pointings is modified in a pseudo-random manner from pointing cycle to pointing cycle during a same detection block so as to create an irregular time interval between two pointings in a same direction; at least one beam is formed in reception on each recurrence in a direction included in the transmission-focused angular domain in the pointing direction corresponding to the recurrence.
