targets with di erent cross track positions have di erent squint angles at the same range resolution cell, which is di erent from the conventional squint SAR. Because the monitoring target may be far away from the view center of the GBSAR, echo of the target may be side lobe resided, when it is received by the radar’s sensor. A Chirp Scaling Algorithm for Processing Airborne SAR Data with High Squint Angle and Motion Error. It is consequently capable of auto-calibrating the effects of the motion error completely without being dependent on the airborne navigation unit. The imaging properties of DBS radars impose additional azimuth plane constraints on the trajectory that have to be incorporated into the optimization process. Moreover, the azimuth squint angle is defined to be positive for forward looking, while negative for backward looking. In the algorithms mentioned above, SAR data is directly processed in range-Doppler domain or 2-D spectrum domain, so high pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is required to avoid the ambiguity of Doppler frequency. Clearly the range and azimuth migration correct only this conical wave, but not for the other values of spanning the integration interval (in order This paper provides a proposed solution and the supporting analysis for extending spaceborne SAR processing techniques to cases having wide beam angles as well as large squint angles. A performance analysis is carried out by using both simulated point Ury Naftaly from Israel derived that there is a maximum squint angle for the space borne spot SAR with a given PRF. Abstract: Though several reconstruction methods have been studied in stripmap-mode SAR with a squint angle, it is a still difficult task to obtain the high quality images in the case of the spotlight SAR with a squint angle. INTERNATIONAL RADAR CONFERENCE, 1995, John Gray and Norman Hecht, "A Derivation of Kappa Guidance Law," NSWC-TN 89-157, This paper proposed a modified chirp scaling algorithm which is suitable for the processing of highly squinted data with motion errors. This results in a skewing and a down-ward shifting of the data spectrum (as indicated by the full line box on Figure 1(b)). Imaging radars generate "photographic" images of the ground below through the transmission and reception of electromagnetic energy. The Synthetic Aperture Radar first described by Carl Wiley of Goodyear in 1951 as the system analyzing the radar returns in the time domain, was named as Doppler beam sharpening. 1 illustrates the general spaceborne SAR geometry for a high squint angle. This paper proposes a trajectory design and optimization method based on genetic algorithms. The various mission phases are interrelated, and the performance objectives come into conflict with the hardware constraints. Figure 2. With respect to the boresight, the azimuth squint angle is zero. Frequency-dependant phase shifting of the elements of the array can be used to compensate for the squint,[4] which leads to the concept of a squintless antenna or feed.[5]. In this special squint model, the distance between the point target and the center of the antenna array is defined as the equivalent squint range , and the corresponding scanning angle is defined as equivalent squint angle . Definition of angles in the vertical plane of SLAR Geometry of an SLAR Side-looking airborne radar (SLAR) is an aircraft- or satellite-mounted imaging radar pointing perpendicular to the direction of flight (hence side-looking).

The platform position at azimuth time, , is shown, as is the velocity vector . For SAR systems, high squint angle would cause an increased range cell migration (RCM), which leads to a contradiction between the receive window and ‘blind ranges’ (e.g.… Firstly, the proposed algorithm is established under a Fast Time-Domain Back-Projection (FTDBP) framework for the SAR IFP.

By changing the angle of the cross-track baseline, the interferometry phase component of squint-looking Ro-XTI-SAR caused by the terrain height can be approximately adjusted to zero, and then the interferometry phase of Ro-XTI-SAR is only sensitive to targets’ motion and can be equivalent to the along track interferometry SAR (ATI-SAR). on Geosci.

Autopilot Design, Proceedings of the AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference, Montreal, All N SAR acquisitions can be performed using a same squint angle, or each SAR acquisition can be performed using a respective squint angle different from that used for performing the other N−1 SAR acquisitions so as to obtain, for each acquisition, an integration time equal to the standard stripmap one. An efficient data acquisition technique for high-temporal-resolution, high-spatial-resolution and high-squint-angle spaceborne SAR, in which the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is continuously varied according to the changing slant range, is presented in this paper. A constant-speed missile model is also assumed for deriving the guidance law. Simulated point targets using flight configurations similar to the airborne ONERA/DLR bistatic SAR experiments are used to verify the focusing algorithm. The resolution along the line of sight is controlled through the transmitted pulsewidth, and the cross range resolution through the incremental Doppler shift of adjacent points on the ground. Detailed discussion are made on how to adapt the chirp scaling algorithm to spaceborne SAR, the requirement in updating processing parameters, and the approach for flexible pixel location and higher phase fidelity. 2.9.1 Signal Definition •Mishra N. and Swarup S.,“ExtendedOmega-K Algorithm for High Squint Mode Airborne SAR Imaging with Motion Compensation”, IEEE International Microwave and RF Conference 2014 •Vandewal M. The work in [3] concerns the processing of multi-pass squinted SAR data. The main contribution of this paper is the consideration of the effect of motion errors in the presence of a large squint angle. The processes enclosed with parentheses are different from those in the conventional RDA [14]. While traditional multi-aperture algorithms mainly handle general side-looking cases, they do not work well for squint cases. The squint side-looking imaging mode SAR has a squint angle at the side-looking direction. It is shown that the proposed approach works for squint angles up to 60°. mounted on an airborne platform encounters unexpected motion deviations/errors, the coupling becomes more complicated, and it is difficult to differentiate the systematic RCM for the SAR Image Formation Processing (IFP) and the non-systematic RCM error to be compensated. The problem is solved using a time-varying state weighting matrix, Q, which is assumed to be a function of time-to-go and controls the states, depending on the relative target position. / Wang, Dongliang; Yang, Jun; ... and the squint angle, are extracted using the Doppler centroid and Doppler rate. Processing of squinted SAR spotlight data is a challenge because of the significant range migration effects of the raw data over the coherent aperture time.
