The invention provides a
missile-borne bistatic forward-looking SAR time-frequency synchronization method based on direct
waves, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the
data demodulation of a received
direct wave signal, and carrying out the distance compression of the demodulated
direct wave signal; extracting a peak
signal with the
maximum amplitude of each sampling pulse in the
direct wave matrix after distance compression to form a peak signal vector, and performing Doppler
centroid estimation on the peak signal vector; performing polynomial fitting on peak position historical data corresponding to peak signals in each sampling pulse, extracting linear components, eliminating deviations corresponding to Doppler centroids, obtaining an offset rate of a linear
time synchronization error, and compensating the linear
time synchronization error according to the offset rate; the peak phase of the peak signal is subtracted, deviation corresponding to the Doppler
centroid is eliminated, an estimated value of the
fixed frequency synchronization error is obtained, and the
fixed frequency synchronization error is compensated according to the estimated value. According to the method, the time-frequency synchronization error between
missile-borne double-base foresight SAR platforms can be effectively eliminated, and high-quality imaging in the whole guidance process is guaranteed.
