High-Resolution Squinted SAR Imaging Algorithm Applied in the Near-Field Environment

In the squinted synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging of the near-field environment, range-dependent characteristic of squint angle cannot be ignored, which causes azimuth-dependent range cell migration (RCM) after linear range walk correction (LRWC). In this study, an efficient SAR imaging algorit...

description In the squinted synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging of the near-field environment, range-dependent characteristic of squint angle cannot be ignored, which causes azimuth-dependent range cell migration (RCM) after linear range walk correction (LRWC). In this study, an efficient SAR imaging algorithm applied in the near-field environment is proposed. In the processing of the range focusing, LRWC is firstly used to remove the linear RCM. Then, the residual LRCM is expanded into azimuth-invariant and azimuth-variant terms in consideration of the residual LRCM of azimuth-dependent. Range cell migration azimuth scaling (RCMAS) is designed to remove the azimuth-variant term before secondary range compression (SRC) and range compression (RC). In the azimuth focusing, azimuth distortion compensation (ADC) is performed to compensate the azimuth distortion, following which azimuth nonlinear chirp scaling (ANCS) is applied to equalize the frequency modulation (FM) rate for azimuth compression (AC). The simulated results show that more accurate and improved imaging result can be obtained with the proposed algorithm.
