Abstract:

In order to improve the imaging accuracy of the missile-borne synthetic aperture radar based on circular scanning, it is of great significance to study and analyze the large squint imaging. Aiming at the problem that traditional wkalgorithm fails to take into account the change of equivalent velocity and the complexity of operation in carrying out azimuth correction when constructing Stoltmapping relation, an improved wkalgorithm for missile-borne SAR slant imaging model is proposed. First, wkalgorithm based on Stoltinterpolation is deduced in detail to identify the potential confusion in three links, namely, imaging parameters, correction of Doppler center and unified phase compensation, so as to provide a rigorous model for algorithm improvement. Then, a new Stoltmapping relation is constructed to reduce the residual phase error as the equivalent velocity of the non-reference point target changes with the distance. On this basis, in order to avoid complex 2-D interpolation or coordinate transformation, a reference target point is introduced to construct an approximate correction function. Finally, the effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by the simulation of multiple point targets with large squint imaging as an example.
