摘要
Airborne squint side-looking strip imaging mode SAR has the advantages of better flexibility and larger field in applications than the classic side-looking mode SAR. Because of the large range migration and serious range-azimuth coupling terms, the imaging processing of squint mode SAR is a full two-dimensional (2-D) phenomenon. In this paper, different algorithms, which can be used for the imaging processing of squint mode SAR, are compared with each other in terms of their focusing quality and their ability to handle the large range migration of the squint side-looking mode SAR. And their abilities of real-time imaging are also discussed. The algorithms contained here are 2-D FFT method, fast polynomial transform(FPT) method, and the direct correcting method based on range-Doppler focusing algorithms. Other new methods are also discussed here briefly.
