Abstract

This summary presents an adaptive large-size moving target imaging technique for bistatic forward-looking SAR (BFL-SAR). The main problems of this issue are that not only the echo characteristics (including range cell migration and Doppler parameters) are unknown, but also the spatial-variances of these characteristics are nonlinear for different point-scatterers. The proposed technique relies on a proper processing of the data aiming at, first, to correct the range walk by applying keystone transform over the whole received echo, and then, the relationships between the unknown high-order RCM, the nonlinear spatial-variances of the Doppler parameters, and the speed of the mover, are established. After that, using an adaptive NLCS technique, not only the unknown high-order RCM can be accurately corrected, but also the nonlinear spatial-variances of the Doppler parameters can be balanced. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness of this adaptive large-size moving target imaging technique to be employed in BFL-SAR frameworks.
