The application provides a middle-high
orbit SAR fast
time domain imaging method based on a self-defined scene coordinate
system, and relates to the technical field of
radar imaging. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, according to the complex imaging geometric characteristics of the middle-high
orbit SAR in the large squint mode, the analytical expression of the wave number support area in the squint mode is calculated. Secondly, aiming at the characteristics of the middle-high
orbit SAR imaging, such as the super wide swath and the super long synthetic aperture time, the application provides a fast
time domain imaging algorithm, which can effectively process the
imaging data and meet the imaging mode of the middle-high orbit SAR. Finally, according to the arrangement mode of the imaging grid, combined with the characteristics that the
radar beam
footprint is not fixed and the ground sidelobe direction is not consistent, the
imaging algorithm can meet the complex imaging geometric conditions of the middle-high orbit SAR in different orbit segments, downward angles and squint angles, and can self-define a two-dimensional direction flexible and non-orthogonal scene coordinate
system, so as to meet the
imaging processing requirements of the middle-high orbit SAR in different imaging
modes.
