    Abstract
  • The spaceborne-missile bistatic forward-looking Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a promising imaging guidance technology that can obtain high-resolution images of the area in front of the missile all day and in all weather types. However, the coupling and spatial variations in range and azimuth parameters hinder the development of high-resolution spaceborne-missile bistatic forward-looking SAR imaging. In this study, the accurate-range Doppler domain analytical formula for echo signals was derived based on the low-orbit spaceborne illuminator and high-speed forward-looking missile-borne receiving platform configuration. Subsequently, in range processing, a range Nonlinear Chirp Scaling (NCS) was proposed to equalize the range cell migration and range Frequency Modulation (FM) rate, and both can be uniformly compensated in the two-dimensional frequency domain. In azimuth processing, the proposed method decomposed the azimuth FM rates of the transmitter and receiver. Then, the azimuth NCS was used to eliminate the high-order spatial variation of the azimuth FM rate. Finally, a two-dimensional matched filtering was performed to obtain a SAR image with a good global focus. The point and scene simulation verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
