Abstract

In spaceborne synthetic aperture radar, the sliding spotlight mode can acquire high resolution and large azimuth scene size simultaneously. However, when the resolution is very high and the azimuth scene size is large, the traditional hyperbolic range model (HRM) is inaccurate and the variation of the equivalent velocity in azimuth dimension cannot be ignored. Thus, the traditional imaging algorithms based on HRM are no longer available. For this problem, this paper proposes an equivalent acceleration range model, which can precisely take into account the spaceborne curved orbit. Then, velocity scaling algorithm based on this new range model is proposed to meet the needs of very high resolution and large azimuth scene size. The results of the simulation validate the effectiveness of the new range model and the imaging algorithm.
