Abstract
Due to the long synthetic aperture time, the large squint angle, and the large imaging width of medium Earth orbit (MEO) and high Earth orbit (HEO) SAR satellites, it is difficult to simulate the geometric positioning accuracy of MEO- and HEO-SAR satellites through the SAR image simulation methods. In this paper, one non-zero Doppler simulation method of geometric positioning accuracy was proposed without simulating SAR images. In order to simulate the geometric positioning accuracy under different errors and imaging observation conditions, the virtual simulation geometric model was constructed by the simulated satellite ephemeris and the coordinates of ground control points (GCPs). On this basis, one geometric accuracy simulation method based on mean value compensation was proposed to simulate the geometric positioning accuracy with GCPs. The experimental results showed that the impact of Doppler center frequency error and velocity error of MEO- and HEO-SAR satellites on geometric positioning accuracy is significant compared with the LEO-SAR satellites, and the maximum error they affect can reach about 1597 m. In addition, the geometric positioning accuracies of MEO- and HEO-SAR satellites with GCPs can be achieved to 1~10 m and 7~29 m, respectively.
