Abstract
To tackle the problems of Doppler spectrum, aliasing caused by azimuth beam scanning and azimuthal serious non-uniform sampling in squint sliding spotlight synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with varying repetition frequency technology, the azimuth sampling method of sub-aperture block-varying pulse repetition frequency (SBV-PRF) is proposed, where the sub-aperture division judgement makes the azimuth acquisition time of each sub-block small enough so that the Doppler bandwidth caused by the Doppler center change can be ignored. Based on the echo signal characteristics of a SBV-PRF transmission scheme, an azimuth pre-processing method combining SBV-PRF transmission scheme with sub-aperture division is proposed. Using this method, de-skewing is first performed on each set of sub-aperture data to eliminate the additional Doppler bandwidth introduced by the squint angle, and then the azimuth signal resampling is performed to ensure different sub-aperture data have the same sampling rate. The SBV-PRF technology reduces the difficulty of azimuth signal pre-processing while ensuring the complete acquisition of the complete echo data of the squint sliding spotlight mode. The effectiveness of the SBV-PRF system design and the signal processing method is verified by the point target echo simulation and imaging simulation results.
