Abstract
There are two technical difficulties to overcome before obtaining a well-focused image from high squint (HS) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with constant acceleration. One is effective range modeling and the other is the correction of space-variant (SV) Doppler parameters. Based on the imaging characteristics analysis, an orthogonal expansion range model (OERM) is proposed which can handle the coordinate rotation caused by range walk correction (RWC). Then a modified spectral analysis (SPECAN) with the Doppler resampling method is designed to correct the SV Doppler parameters. Finally, the proposed algorithm is verified by both simulated and real SAR data. Meanwhile, it shows an improvement in azimuth focusing quality over the reference one.Keywords
