Abstract

Abstract

Bistatic forward looking low frequency Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has both complicated imaging geometry and strong range-azimuth coupling, which increases the difficulty of high-precision imaging extremely. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes an approach based on Fast Factorized Back Projection (FFBP) algorithm to focus the low frequency UWB Bistatic Forward-looking SAR (BFSAR) data. First, based on the imaging geometry of BFSAR, the principle and implementation of Back Projection (BP) algorithm are presented. Then, the phase error in FFBP algorithm is analyzed, and the formula of the phase error in bistatic forward looking SAR is derived. The implementation of FFBP algorithm is presented, and the computational burden of BP algorithm and FFBP algorithm are estimated and compared. Finally, the simulation experiment is progressed, and the results prove the correctness of analysis and the validity of the proposed approach.
