Sliding Spotlight SAR Processing for TerraSAR-X using a New Formulation of the Extended Chirp Scaling Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the sliding spotlight algorithm and the processing strategy to be applied for TerraSAR-X. The steering spotlight geometry is analysed. Analysis of scene size and resolution demonstrates the particularities of this mode. The Doppler frequencies for individual targets and for a whole sliding spotlight scene are analyzed and the result shows the applicability of azimuth subaperture processing to sliding spotlight data. A description of the Extended Chirp Scaling Algorithm for sliding spotlight is presented.

Focusing Bistatic SAR Data in Double Sliding Spotlight Mode with TerraSAR-X and PAMIR Based on Azimuth Chirp Filtering
This paper concentrates on the Doppler spectrum characteristics of hybrid bistatic SAR experiments, i.e., TerraSAR-X/PAMIR where TerraSAR-X was steered as the illuminator in the sliding spotlight mode, and PAMIR, mounted on a Transall C-160, operated in the inverse sliding spotlight mode. The bistatic Double Sliding Spotlight (DSS) experiment has been successfully performed in March 2009. For t...
متن کاملGeneralized Chirp Scaling Combined with Baseband Azimuth Scaling Algorithm for Large Bandwidth Sliding Spotlight SAR Imaging
This paper presents an efficient and precise imaging algorithm for the large bandwidth sliding spotlight synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The existing sub-aperture processing method based on the baseband azimuth scaling (BAS) algorithm cannot cope with the high order phase coupling along the range and azimuth dimensions. This coupling problem causes defocusing along the range and azimuth dimensi...
