This invention discloses a method for analyzing and simulating spaceborne SAR coverage performance, used for accurate and efficient analysis of spaceborne SAR coverage indicators and
visualization. The method comprises two parts: First, by combining antenna pointing and real-time
satellite position, a
nadir trajectory map is generated. The intersection of the beam and the
Earth ellipsoid is solved using a vector triangle coverage model to visualize the beam coverage area. Second, after coordinate transformation of the target position, the relative
radius vector between the
satellite and the target is calculated. Target
visibility is determined through multi-dimensional coordinate
system transformation, and then the single illumination time and revisit time are calculated. This invention uses an accurate
Earth ellipsoid model as a benchmark, integrating
satellite orbital dynamics, precise coordinate transformation under multi-factor perturbations, and TLE
parameter analysis to ensure high-precision analysis. Its process is clear, core steps can be efficiently implemented using mature algorithms, and it features both
visualization output and high customizability. It can adapt to different SAR
system parameters and scenarios, achieving targeted performance evaluation and optimization, demonstrating outstanding efficiency and practicality.
