A novel mixed mode radar coincidence imaging (MMRCI) system, which combines the coherent radar detection and incoherent radar coincidence imaging function during the radar coincidence imaging (RCI) process, is presented in this paper. The target location function of the MMRCI system gives the target position information synchronously with imaging tests, and this makes the MMRCI work independently with low target position estimation error. In the MMRCI system, the resolution of target distance estimation is proportional to the whole bandwidth assisted by the double-frequency linear frequency modulation (DFLFM) signal when the occupied bandwidth of the DFLFM signal is less than one-tenth of the whole bandwidth. The target position estimation error caused by the target motion can be reduced effectively so that the image quality of the moving target can be guaranteed in a longer detection time. The RCI is reconstructed using the incoherent part of the transmitting signal. A general relationship between the spatial correlation of the random radiation field in the imaging plane and the deployments of linear random source is analyzed in the paper. The imaging efficiency is ensured through the grading imaging method based on the imaging requirement. The effectiveness of the MMRCI method is validated via a set of simulations and experiments, including superresolution RCI of both stationary and moving targets in various scenes using the convex optimization algorithms.
