Problems solved by technology

The distance Doppler algorithm, Chirp Scaling algorithm, and polar coordinate format algorithm are not easy to implement on hardware, and the real-time performance is poor; the traditional PFA algorithm realizes two-dimensional data resampling through two-dimensional interpolation and two-dimensional FFT, which is easy to implement on hardware. However, the two-dimensional interpolation calculation is huge, the resource utilization rate on the chip is not high, the calculation processing time is long, the system cannot meet the real-time requirements, and the calculation accuracy of the algorithm is not high. Moreover, the micro SAR platform will be affected by the actual flight activities. Due to the influence of external factors such as airflow disturbance, there is an error between the flight trajectory and the ideal trajectory, resulting in distortion and defocus of the PFA imaging results, which will also affect the final imaging effect
[0005] To sum up, the existing SAR imaging methods have the defects of low computing efficiency, poor real-time performance, and low imaging accuracy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of radar imaging, in particular to a SAR imaging method and system. Background technique [0002] Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) uses the movement of a single antenna element to correlate and synthesize the acquired echo signals to form a complete array, and uses signal processing technology to perform high-resolution imaging of scene targets. Different from traditional optical imaging and infrared remote sensing, SAR can work normally without being affected by complex meteorological conditions and extraordinary time periods, and has the characteristics of high resolution and large width. Initially, SAR was mainly used on airborne, spaceborne, and missile-borne platforms. With the development of small unmanned aerial vehicles, it has gradually become a research hotspot to carry micro-SAR imaging systems on them. [0003] The SAR imaging algorithm is complex, and the amount of data processing is large. In or...
