Improved Motion Compensation for Wide- Beam Wide-swath Airborne Sar
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to gain consistent focusing quality all over the imaging region for wide-beam wide-swath airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), higher motion compensation (MoCo) accuracy at the edge of the swath is needed. In this letter, an improved MoCo approach is proposed, and its performance is validated by using simulated data, as well as real data collected by a P-band SAR system.

Along-track motion compensation approach for airborne wide-beam SAR based on sub-aperture processing
Introduction: Motion compensation (MoCo) is one of the key steps to gather well-focused images for airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR). For SAR systems operating at low frequencies, e.g. the VHF/ UHF band, wide-beam processing is needed in MoCo to deal with the angular dependent motion error. Therefore, a sub-aperture MoCo algorithm was proposed [1] to compensate for the motion error across...
متن کاملAzimuth Beam Pattern Synthesis for Air- Borne Sar System Optimization
Abstract—The limitation of the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) of an airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system is not a serious problem to obtain high azimuth resolution and wide swath imaging compared with a spaceborne SAR system. Hence, continuous high azimuth resolution imagery over a wide area can be obtained using an antenna having a wide beamwidth. Since a small antenna with a large...
متن کاملNear-space slow SAR high-resolution wide swath and sustained imaging technology
Sustained high-resolution imaging for wide swath area is getting emergence. However, conventional airborne and spaceborne SAR can hardly achieve them simultaneously. Near-space technology draws much attention in this aspect. Current researches of near-space SAR focus on fast platform which encounters contradiction between azimuth high resolution and range wide swath. To solve it and achieve sus...
متن کاملExtended wavenumber-domain synthetic aperture radar focusing with integrated motion compensation
Modern synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems are continually developing in the direction of higher spatial resolution. This requires the usage of high range bandwidths combined with long azimuth integration intervals. High-quality SAR processing methods, which are able to deal with such sensor parameters, are necessary for focusing the raw data of such sensors. Wavenumber-domain (v–k) processi...
متن کاملASTC-MIMO-TOPS Mode with Digital Beam-Forming in Elevation for High-Resolution Wide-Swath Imaging
Future spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) missions require complete and frequent coverage of the earth with a high resolution. Terrain Observation by Progressive Scans (TOPS) is a novel wide swath mode but has impaired azimuth resolution. In this paper, an innovative extended TOPS mode named Alamouti Space-time Coding multiple-input multiple-output TOPS (ASTC-MIMO-TOPS) mode combined wit...
