Refined Motion Compensation for Highly Squinted Spotlight Syn- thetic Aperture Radar
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a motion compensation algorithm which is capable of dealing with large motion errors for highly squinted spotlight SAR. The approach consists of a phase error compensation, a shift to correct the delay time error and an interpolation/resampling in azimuth. For pulsed SAR with a 30° squint angle, the proposed algorithm compensates motion errors that are 10 times greater than the resolution cells and obtains nearly the theoretical achievable resolutions of the focused image. The main contribution of this paper is the consideration of the effect of motion errors in the presence of a large squint angle.

For accurate motion compensation (MOCO) in airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging, a high-precision inertial navigation system (INS) is required. However, an INS is not always precise enough or is sometimes not even included in airborne SAR systems. In this paper, a new, raw, data-based range-invariant motion compensation approach, which can effectively extract the displacements in the...
