SAR imaging method and system based on synthetic bandwidth frequency scaling

Abstract

The invention discloses an SAR imaging method and system based on synthetic bandwidth frequency scaling, which relates to the field of microwave imaging detection. Through a baseband frequency domain synthesis technology, a plurality of narrowband linear frequency modulation signals are transmitted into a repetition frequency area, narrowband target echo signals returned by the repetition frequency area are synthesized into broadband echo signals according to a baseband complex signal sequence, and the broadband echo signals are obtained on the basis that the cost of an inherent microwave transmitting end hardware structure is not increased; on the premise that a motion compensation algorithm is not adopted, the problems of distance bending space-variant and distance orientation coupling under a large squint angle are solved through a frequency scaling wave number domain imaging processing algorithm, and the complexity and response delay of the system are reduced. According to the method, bending correction is carried out by adopting FFT operation and phase function complex multiplication on distance bending space-variant correction through a frequency scaling technology, interpolation operation of an RD algorithm and a PFA algorithm is avoided, the operand is saved, and the method can be applied to some application scenes with high real-time performance requirements.

[0002] With the continuous development of microwave detection technology, different forms of imaging technology are also emerging, the most dazzling of which is undoubtedly the SAR technology.

[0003] In 1978, NASA launched the world's first spaceborne SAR satellite: SEASAT satellite; the launch of SEASAT satellite announced the importance of SAR technology and demonstrated to the world the ability of SAR to obtain high-definition surface images. Since then, SAR has become an important part of the modern microwave detection field.

Embodiment Construction

[0080] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0081] Such as Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a SAR imaging method and system based on synthetic bandwidth frequency scaling. In order to control costs and make SAR imaging better adapt to civilian needs, this implementation adopts a low-cost narrowband front-end. Frequency domain synthesis technology synthesizes multiple narrowband signals into large bandwidth signals to achieve the effect of improving SAR imaging resolution. This process can be regarded as: the baseband complex signal sequence is obtained through the narrowband transmission signal sequence transmitted by the narrowband front end, the phase compensation is performed on the baseband complex signal sequence, and the frequency domain subband splicing is performed through the obtained baseband complex signal sequence to obtain a wideband echo signal .
