Abstract

An analytical bistatic point target reference spectrum (BPTRS) is proposed. The BPTRS is derived from the one-to-one relationship between slow time and Doppler frequency with no Taylor series expansions. Based on the BPTRS, a two-dimensional frequency-domain focusing algorithm for spaceborne/airborne bistatic synthetic aperture radar is developed. The algorithm exploits a range-dependent sub-blocks processing method to perform range cell migration correction and quadratic Doppler term compensation, and then a scaled inverse Fourier transformation and a sinc interpolation are used to correct the geometric distortions in azimuth and range, respectively. Some simulation experiments are also presented to verify their performance.
