The invention provides a spaceborne synthetic aperture radar reference function acquiring method based on internal scaling data. The method comprises the following steps of 1, acquiring amplitude phase error data of an internal scaler full-array-plane received-and-transmitted scaling pathway, an antenna scaling network and an antenna sub-array; 2, acquiring full-array-plane received-and-transmitted scaling data of a radar system on the condition of a preset working bandwidth and pulse width parameter; and 3, compensating amplitude phase error of the internal scaler, the scaling network and the antenna sub-array in the full-array-plane received-and-transmitted scaling data and the like. According to the method of the invention, on the condition of relatively high characteristic consistency between a radar received-and-transmitted copying signal and an actual received-and-transmitted signal, a reference function is used for performing coupling processing, thereby obtaining an effect which is approximate to a standard sinc function, and realizing most powerful supplementing and improvement to predistortion processing of the radar system. The spaceborne synthetic aperture radar reference function acquiring method is suitable for subsequent all radar microwave loads with a full-array-plane received-and-transmitted scaling mode and settles a problem of relatively high influence of radar system amplitude phase error to an imaging performances. Furthermore the method has a remarkable effect for improving imaging performance of the radar system.
