Abstract
Three-dimension acceleration, azimuth dependence, and real-time processing are the main issues to be solved in highly-squinted frequency-modulation continuous-wave (FMCW) SAR with a curved trajectory. To overcome these issues, a modified wavenumber-domain algorithm is developed in this paper. The proposed modified wavenumber-domain algorithm mainly includes the following six aspects. Firstly, a modified range model considering three-dimension acceleration for a curved trajectory is established. Then, the spectrum compression and rotation operations are performed to guarantee further processing. Afterward, residual phase terms introduced by acceleration are bulk compensated for. Moreover, the azimuth dependence is eliminated by the azimuth resampling to achieve uniform focusing. Subsequently, the range-azimuth coupling is removed by the modified Stolt interpolation. Finally, to avoid image aliasing, the azimuth wavenumber domain is selected to focus final image. The experimental results of both numerical and raw-measured FMCW-SAR data demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method.
