The invention discloses a nonlevel flight double-
station SAR
frequency domain FENLCS imaging method based on a quadratic elliptic model. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, performing range direction pretreatment, namely applying
linear range walk correction, KT (
keystone transform), bulk range
cell migration correction and second range compression in a range direction; secondly, executing residual high-order range
cell migration correction treatment of
azimuth space variation. According to a range direction pretreatment result, the quadratic elliptic model is put forward in theinvention, and the quadratic elliptic model is used for accurately describing
azimuth space variation characteristics of an
equidistant point
receiver squint angle and beam center slope distance. Theimproved FENLCS
imaging processing method based on the quadratic elliptic model, provided by the invention, realizes removal of characteristics of space variation with
azimuth positions of a residualdoppler center, doppler modulation frequency and a high-order phase coefficient, and consequently completes azimuth unified focusing treatment. Additionally, a
frequency domain high-order non-space variation prefiltering method is provided, a derivation procedure of a FENLCS
algorithm is simplified, and focusing quality is improved.
