Range Cell Migration Correction for Phase Error Compensation of Highly Squinted SAR
نویسنده
چکیده
Phase error compensation within motion compensation techniques requires range cell migration corrected SAR data. The main contribution of this paper is providing a non-approximated range cell migration correction (RCMC) for processing highly squinted SAR data. Embedded in the conventional Omega-K processing, the approach consists of two coordinate transformations carried out in the 2D frequency domain and a modification made to the 2D matched filter. The first coordinate transformation is a rotation that removes the effect of the squint angle, the second one is an azimuth wavenumber dependent shift of the range wavenumber. It is shown that the proposed approach works for squint angles up to 60°.

Range cell migration correction analysis of one-step and two-step motion compensation for millimeter-wave airborne SAR imaging
Conventional two-step motion compensation (MOCO) method is widely adapted for airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging due to its conciseness combining with the SAR focusing procedure. For two-step MOCO, rangeindependent compensation is processed before range cell migration correction (RCMC), and the range-dependent phase correction is implemented after RCMC. However, the accuracy of RCM...

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 difficulty of focusing high-resolution highly squinted SAR data comes from the serious azimuth-range coupling, which needs to be compensated in the procedure of imaging. Generally, the linear range walk correction (LRWC) can reduce the coupling effectively, however, it also induces the problem of azimuth-dependence of residual range cell migration (RCM) and quadratic phase. A novel algorith...

This paper proposes a new approach for high-resolution airborne SAR data processing, which uses a modified chirp scaling algorithm to accommodate the correction of motion errors, as well as the variations of the Doppler centroid in range and azimuth. By introducing a cubic phase term in the chirp scaling phase, data acquired with a squint angle up to 30" can be processed with no degradation of ...
