Abstract
Conventional motion compensation (MOCO) under beam-center approximation is usually insufficient to correct severe track deviations for high-resolution synthetic aperture radar imaging. In this paper, a novel MOCO approach is developed for correction of the azimuth-variant motion errors by exploiting a precise angle-to-Doppler relationship within subapertures. The corruption from the residual motion errors to the angle-to-Doppler mapping is investigated and overcome by a compensation scheme of the scaled Fourier transform. Inheriting the high efficiency, the proposed azimuth MOCO approach has dramatically improved precision over the conventional subaperture MOCO method by reducing high side-lobe peaks of the point spread function. Extensive comparisons with other MOCO algorithms are given to show the superiority of the proposed algorithm. Moreover, real-data experiments are provided for a clear demonstration of our proposed approach.
