An Improved Range-Doppler Algorithm for SAR Imaging at High Squint Angles
نویسندگان
چکیده
An improved range-Doppler algorithm (RDA) is proposed to reconstruct images from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data received at high squint angles. At a higher squint angle, a larger synthetic aperture is required to receive sufficient amount of data for image reconstruction, and the range migration also becomes more serious, which demands more computational load and larger memory size. The proposed method can generate better SAR images with less computational load and memory than the conventional RDA, which is verified by simulations.

Signal properties of spaceborne squint-mode SAR
This paper presents signal properties of spaceborne, strip-map SAR for very large squint angles. Doppler centroid, azimuth bandwidth, and exposure time are derived in terms of the platform attitude and elevation angle. This allows a description of the Doppler centroid variation with range and terrain height, and explains a possible range dependence of azimuth bandwidth at high squint. The yaw a...

This paper proposes an Extended Inverse Chirp-Z Transform (EICZT) algorithm to handle the high squint FMCW SAR data, where the conventional Inverse Chirp-Z Transform (ICZT) cannot work due to the failure in dealing with the range-variance of secondand higher-order range-azimuth coupling terms. A preprocessing operation is implemented in the azimuth-Doppler and range-time (Doppler-time) domain, ...

AbstructA time domain subaperture approach has been developed at DLR which is suitable for real-time synthetic aperture radar ( S A R ) processing and produces high quality, full resolution images. The real-time subaperture algorithm is based on an approximation of the phase history correction in each subaperture with a simple linear correction, which can be carried out by an up/down-conversion...
متن کاملA Variable Prf Imaging Method for High Squint Diving Sar
The high squint diving SAR is widely used to provide the information in advance. Large squint angle deduces the deeper coupling of range and azimuth of SAR echoes which makes SAR imaging more difficult. Especially, the large range migration of the deep couple heavily burdens the imaging processing time and storage units. The diving motion of platform worsens the situation. This paper proposes t...

This paper presents a new range Doppler algorithm (RDA) for bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing in a general configuration based on a bistatic point target reference spectrum: the improved extended Loffeld’s bistatic formula (ILBF). The ILBF spectrum is proved to be comparably accurate with the spectrum derived using the method of series reversion (MSR). Based on the expansion of...
