Processing Sliding Mosaic Mode Data with Modified Full-Aperture Imaging Algorithm Integrating Scalloping Correction
-
摘要: 该文提出了一种针对滑动Mosaic模式合成孔径雷达(SAR)的全孔径成像算法,包含了扇贝效应校正和尖脉冲抑制。该方法创新性地通过方位向去斜预处理,来校正由于雷达天线转动引入的天线方向图加权,即扇贝效应校正技术。尖脉冲抑制的主要思想是利用线性预测谱估计算法,通过相邻Burst数据外推来补全Burst之间的空缺数据,从而抑制由多个Burst相干处理所引起的尖脉冲,即矛刺。最后,带宽为200 MHz的C波段机载SAR系统实验处理结果验证了该文所提方法的有效性。Abstract: In this study, we present a modified full-aperture imaging algorithm that includes scalloping correction and spike suppression for sliding-Mosaic-mode Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). It is innovational to correct the azimuth beam-pattern weighting altered by radar antenna rotation in the azimuth during the de-ramping preprocessing operation. The main idea of spike suppression is to substitute zeros between bursts with linear-predicted data extrapolated from adjacent bursts to suppress spikes caused by multiburst processing. We also integrate scalloping correction for the sliding mode into this algorithm. Finally, experiments are performed using the C-band airborne SAR system with a maximum bandwidth of 200 MHz to validate the effectiveness of this approach.
