Abstract
As for the bistatic forward-looking synthetic aperture radar (BiForSAR) imaging, frequency-domain imaging algorithms integrated with autofocus is advisable to get a well focused BiForSAR image in the presence of uncompensated motion errors. Nevertheless, a severe drawback of the autofocus algorithms is that they are only capable of removing one-dimensional azimuth phase errors. In range direction, there exists nonsystematic range cell migration (NsRCM) originated from motion errors and RCM correction procedure in frequency domain imaging algorithms as well. In this paper, the causes of different NsRCM in BiForSAR imaging are analyzed, and the corresponding relationship between different NsRCM is deduced. Based on the analyses, we propose an autofocus NsRCM correction scheme for BiForSAR imagery using frequency domain imaging algorithms, being capable of eliminating the range-dependent NsRCM.
