摘要
In this article, we propose an entire processing chain that addresses the geometrical defocusing problems caused by a large orbital arc, a high squint, and topography variations in ultra-high-resolution (UHR) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) operations. Slant-range histories are formulated using fifth-order polynomials to accurately express radar signals with a UHR spaceborne and squint SAR geometry. SAR focusing is first conducted with a constant height assumption. Thereafter, residual topography errors are compensated. Several beneficial contributions are included in the proposed processing chain. First, to achieve constant-height SAR focusing, we improve the typical least-square decomposition-based Stolt interpolations in terms of the image quality and computation time. Second, we clarify how illuminated areas are mapped in a two-dimensional imaging domain after polynomial-based focusing, which is completely different from the well-known relationship between the closest range and zero-Doppler time. Third, a generalized blockwise postfocusing method is devised to correct the range and azimuth defocusing effects induced by height variations. These contributions are verified using numerical simulations. Thus, we can conclude that the proposed method can provide focused SAR images for a height-variant geometry in UHR spaceborne and squint operations.
