The invention relates to a high and low
orbit cooperative
satellite-borne multi-base SAR high-quality imaging segmental arc design method, and belongs to the technical field of
radar imaging. Establishing a high and low
orbit cooperative
satellite-borne multi-base SAR imaging geometric model; calculating echo
spatial spectrum distribution of each receiving
station; determining a starting point range of an imageable arc section from the receiving
station according to the alignment consistency constraint of the
spatial spectrum; determining the
velocity vector direction range of the slave receiving
station according to the rotation angle boundaries of the extension directions of the spatial spectrums of the master and slave receiving stations; calculating the ratio of the range resolution to the
azimuth resolution of the imaging result, and determining the
velocity vector of each receiving station in combination with the bandwidth of the transmitted
signal; preliminarily determining a high-quality imaging arc section through combined constraint of an observation squint angle and a
spatial spectrum interval; and taking an intersection of the arc ranges, and outputting a final high-quality imaging arc design result. According to the method, the final imageable arc section is determined through constraint conditions such as
radar sight and spatial spectrum
interval distribution, and the optimal observation arc section of the receiving station is selected within a certain
observation time to obtain a high-quality imaging result.
