Abstract:

It is hard for the conventional Omega-K algorithm to implement the coherent addition of the sub-aperture image to realize the full-aperture resolution. A distance domain data support region (DSR) fusion approach based on the modified Omega-K algorithm is proposed in this paper. By the implementation of the modified sub-aperture wavenumber domain algorithm, the range-azimuth coupling is solved. At the same time, the burden of the zeros padding processing introduced by the short distance DSR of the sub-aperture data is greatly mitigated. Then the coherence processing and distance domain data support region fusion are performed. By adding the sub-aperture data coherently, the full-aperture resolution in azimuth is realized.
