针对基于地球同步轨道条带模式合成孔径雷达(synthetic aperture radar,SAR)发射-无人机循序渐进对地扫描模式SAR接收组成的星机双基结构(GEO-bistatic radar with GEOSAR and UAVSAR,GEO-UAV BiSAR),提出了该工作模式下的成像算法。首先,基于泰勒展开原理推导了双基斜距,考虑到该双基斜距的空变特性,应用级数反演方法推导了具有距离空变性的点目标二维频谱。其次,考虑在小脉冲重复频率条件下由于天线转动引起的方位频谱混叠问题,提出了基于GEO-UAV BiSAR的成像算法。该成像算法引入dechirp技术解决方位混叠问题,随后通过距离压缩、距离徙动校正、方位压缩和dechirp技术得到清晰的成像结果。最后,仿真实验验证了该成像方法的有效性。
For a synthetic aperture radar（SAR） system mounted on a geostationary Earth orbit（GEO） satellite, the track can be curvilinear. Thus, a bistatic SAR system based up on geostationary transmitter and ＂receive-only＂ SAR system onboard airplanes, namely GEO spaceborne-airborne bistatic（GEO SA-Bi SAR）, is significantly different from the traditional bistatic SAR. This paper mainly studies the resolution characteristic of the sliding spotlight GEO SA-Bi SAR system. Firstly, the common azimuth coverage and coherent accumulated time are theoretically analyzed in detail. Then,based on the gradient method, the accurate two dimensional resolution of a GEO SA-Bi SAR system is analytically calculated. Finally, the simulation data show the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed resolution analysis method.
An imaging algorithm based on compressed sensing（CS） for the multi-ship motion target is presented. In order to reduce the quantity of data transmission in searching the ships on a large sea area, both range and azimuth of the moving ship targets are converted into sparse representation under certain signal basis. The signal reconstruction algorithm based on CS at a distant calculation station, and the Keystone and fractional Fourier transform（FRFT） algorithm are used to compensate range migration and obtain Doppler frequency. When the sea ships satisfy the sparsity, the algorithm can obtain higher resolution in both range and azimuth than the conventional imaging algorithm. Some simulations are performed to verify the reliability and stability.
