Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging, and in particular to a residual phase error correction coefficient estimation method based on a sub-aperture cancellation combined quadratic fitting method. Background Art

[0002] As a high-resolution remote sensing tool, spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been widely used in surface mapping, ocean monitoring, disaster warning and other fields. SAR forms a long-aperture synthetic aperture through the relative motion between the radar and the ground, and uses the transmitted and received microwave signals to obtain high-resolution images of the surface. Its working principle relies on the Doppler frequency shift generated by the relative motion between the platform and the target to achieve high resolution in azimuth. However, in practical applications, the instability of platform motion, orbital errors and system errors will cause phase errors in the imaging process, which in turn affects the clarity and contrast of the image. If the residual phase error is not corrected, it will seriously affect the quality of SAR imaging.

[0003] Residual phase error is mainly caused by the nonlinear motion of the platform during the synthetic aperture process, especially in spaceborne or airborne SAR systems under long exposure. It manifests as a phase shift in the echo signal, causing the SAR image to defocus, which in turn reduces the image contrast and resolution. Existing SAR imaging technology often introduces phase errors due to factors such as platform motion and sensor deviation in high-speed and complex environments, resulting in image distortion and affecting imaging quality.
