Abstract
The frequency scaling algorithm (FSA) was proposed to process the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data acquired via the dechirp-on-receive approach. Some aspects of improving the FSA are investigated in this paper, based on which an extended FSA (EFSA) is presented. The general purpose of the EFSA is to reduce the effect of range spectrum shift of the intermediate processing results, which occurs during the scaling operation in the FSA, so as to achieve a more effective utilization of the processed bandwidth. The EFSA is implemented through time shifting the scaling and the inverse scaling functions used in the FSA and also the adjustment of the scaling factor. The derivation of the EFSA is detailed in this paper. Point target simulation in squinted imaging geometry indicates that the presented algorithm is more suitable for large-squint applications.
