Description

Polar coordinate format imaging method of bistatic forward-looking SAR (synthetic aperture radar) of maneuvering platform
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of Bistatic Forward-looking synthetic aperture Radar (BFSAR) imaging, and particularly relates to a polar coordinate format algorithm of a Bistatic Forward-looking beamforming synthetic aperture Radar of a motorized platform.
Background
Due to the spatial separation of the transmitting station and the receiving station, the bistatic SAR breaks through the forward-looking constraint of the SAR, so that the receiving platform can image forward-looking terrain in the flight direction, and the unique characteristic enables the BFSAR to be a sensing technology with a very promising prospect. BFSAR is capable of providing full-time, all-weather forward-looking high resolution images.
Due to its bistatic forward-looking configuration, the echo of the MP-BFSAR exhibits severe two-dimensional spatial error, its wavenumber spectrum support region is usually a parallelogram rather than a rectangle, and thus it is difficult to effectively use the collected wavenumber spectrum; since MP-BFSAR beams are usually operated in a mode intended to continuously obtain high resolution images of the region of interest in many applications, this leads to complex time-frequency characteristics of the echoes, such as doppler aliasing.
The PFA algorithm (Parabola fitting algorithm) processes echoes in k-space (i.e. the wave number domain). PFA is suitable for processing SAR data due to its unique characteristics, such as mode-free doppler aliasing, low platform trajectory limitation, and low computational complexity. PFA is currently widely used in monostatic SAR and bistatic SAR.
Since PFA adopts the plane wave assumption, but there is a curve in the actual wavefront, when the imaging scene is large, the wavefront curve correction is needed, which may be ineffective for large scenes.
The documents "Polar format algorithm for bistatic SAR, IEEE trans. aerosol. electron. syst., vol.40, No.4, pp.1147-1159, oct.2004" and "Space-variable filtering for wave front geometry in Polar equation SAR image, IEEE trans. aerosol. electron.syst., vol.48, No.2, pp.940-950, apr.2012" propose methods of k-Space axis rotation to transform the spectral support domain of a tilted parallelogram into a horizontal parallelogram, however, k-Space axis rotation is only valid if the support region is rectangular or quasi-rectangular. Therefore, it is not suitable for MP-BFSAR in which the support area is a parallelogram; in the document "Polar format algorithm wave front reconstruction under the array radar flight path, IEEE geosci. remotesens. lett., vol.9, No.3, pp.526-530, May 2012", in order to compensate for phase errors caused by wavefront bending, a space variant wavefront bending compensation filter is proposed, which exploits the intrinsic isotropic property of Polar to cartesian resampling operations, however, the space variant wavefront bending compensation filter is implicit, the calculation of which involves two-dimensional interpolation, which means that it is inconvenient and inefficient in practice; in the documents "Space-variant filtering for wave front curvature in polar formed bistatic SAR image, ieee trans a.
