Abstract

With appropriate geometry configurations, bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can break through the limitations of monostatic SAR on forward-looking imaging. Thanks to such a capability, bistatic forward-looking SAR (BFSAR) has extensive potential applications. In BFSAR, the compensation of the spatially variant motion errors is of great significance to get a well-focused image. In this paper, a motion compensation method based on keystone transform and modified autofocus back-projection is presented to deal with this problem. Keystone transform is applied to remove the spatial variation of range cell migration (RCM) and the first-order term of RCM errors simultaneously, prepares for the following modified autofocus back-projection, which can eliminate the high-order term of azimuth phase errors. Simulation results verify the validity and efficiency of the presented method.
