一种新的非平行轨迹机载双站斜视SAR成像算法(英文)

本文提出了一种用于非平行轨迹机载双站斜视SAR条带模式成像的新的解析算法。该算法用收、发雷达的多普勒调频率贡献比为加权系数推导了点目标回波的二维频谱。通过解目标位置相对于收、发载机飞行轨迹的耦合,将这个二维频谱中目标的距离参数和方位参数进行了分离。在二维频域内,补偿掉双站扭曲项后利用二维Chirp-Z变换(2D-CZT)校正了距离向和方位向的徙动,获得了精确聚焦的目标图像。雷达回波的二维残余徙动用沿距离向和方位向的分块来限制,推导了数据分块的条件,由此可以实现宽场景成像。仿真试验验证了这种2D-CZT算法的有效性。

A Novel Imaging Algorithm for Airborne Bistatic Squint SAR with Unparallel Trajectories

A novel analytical imaging algorithm is proposed for the strip-map mode of airborne bistatic squint SAR with unparallel trajectories. The algorithm derives the two-dimensional (2D) spectrum formula of the point target echo by using the contribution ratios of Doppler frequency modulation ratios of the transmitter and receiver as the weighting coefficients. Through decoupling the target position against the tracks of the transmitter and receiver, the range parameter and the azimuth one in the spectrum formula are separated. In 2D frequency domain, 2D Chirp-Z transform (2D-CZT) is applied to correcting the migrations of the echo along the range and azimuth after the bistatic deformation term has been compensated, so the target image is precisely focused. The advantage of the algorithm is easy to be expanded to the virtual wide swath by blocking the radar data along the range and azimuth to limit the 2D residual migrations. Simulation results confirm the validity of the 2D-CZT algorithm.
