Abstract
Accurate 2-D frequency spectrum (2-D FS) with acceleration, two-way range coupling terms, and spatial-variant Doppler parameters are the main problems to be solved in translational-variant bistatic forward-looking synthetic aperture radar (SAR) (TV BFSAR) with curved trajectory. For these issues, a modified omega-K imaging algorithm is derived in this article. The maximum usage of 2-D FS based on the method of series reversion (MSR) is achieved by linear range cell migration correction, and 2-D FS is linearized in bistatic range by using high-order polynomial fitting. Then, a method of azimuth resampling is introduced to implement compensation of spatial-variant Doppler parameters. Different from other bistatic omega-K methods, our newly proposed method focuses on the small-aperture data in the azimuth frequency domain to avoid azimuth aliasing without padding zeros and uses the frequency focusing position to study the model of spatial-variant phase. Simulation results and real data verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
