Abstract:

In the Wide-field Super High-resolution Spaceborne Multiple-transit and multiple-receive Sliding Spotlight SAR, the line-of-sight approximation of the curved orbit is not established, so traditional imaging algorithms based on line-of-sight approximation is no longer available. For this problem, a super high-resolution velocity scaling algorithm(SHRVS) is proposed to meet the need of wide-field and super high-resolution. Besides, in the procedure of sub-band assembling, a high level virtual image appears due to the frequency aliasing of adjacent sub-bands. For this problem, an optimized linear FM transmit waveform is proposed, which can depress the virtual image level greatly.

Key words: sliding spotlight synthetic aperture radar, multiple-transit and multiple-receive, super high-resolution, wide-field
