signal properties of spaceborne spotlight sar were discussed. the relationships of centroid doppler, doppler bandwidth and prf(pluse repetition frequency) with squint angle were analyzed.
rd algorithm based on minimum entropy criteria carries out the correction phase errors caused by high squint angle via searching error coefficients for improving the imaging focus effect.
these conclusions are important for choosing suitable radar system parameters such as center frequency , resolution and imaging squint angle in engineering design.
这些结论对工程设计牛选择合适的工作参数,如载频、分辨率、成像斜角等具有较为重要的参考价值。
the quality of images of simulated bistatic echoes focused by the algorithm is much better than algorithm based on two-order range model at the case of large squint angle and high resolution.
with the analysis of r-d algorithm, the relationship between the frequency of radar, the signal frequency width and the squint angle is deduced. the result is identified by computer simulation.
the relationship shows that the maximum bandwidth is limited for these algorithms and becomes narrow when the center frequency is lower and the imaging squint angle is larger.
the special relationship among signal bandwidth, center frequency and imaging squint angle in the range-doppler imaging algorithm and other methods is also presented in the chapter 3.
