Abstract
In this paper, a fast back-projection (BP) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging algorithm based on wavenumber spectrum fusion is proposed for high maneuvering platforms with high squint angles and high dive angles. When the platforms have nonlinear trajectory errors, the trajectory errors will introduce significant spectrum displacement, which varies with the target position. If the influence of trajectory error is not considered, the trajectory’s deviation from the ideal SAR imaging geometry will degrade the focusing performance. The dive angle will further enlarge the influence on SAR focusing. In this paper, the center function of the spatially variable sub-aperture wavenumber spectrum is derived, firstly, which is the basis for reasonably setting the oversampling rate. Then, the accurate spectrum fusion method is proposed, which is efficiently implemented by fast Fourier transform (FFT) and circular shifting. The proposed algorithm is called high-squint and high-dive accelerated factorized back-projection (HSHD-AFBP). Compared to the commonly used spectrum fusion method, HSHD-AFBP not only improves the imaging quality, but also expands the image width. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation data.
