Abstract

Abstract

The azimuth resolution of traditional synthetic aperture radar is only provided by synthetic aperture. However, in the forward looking area, the Doppler diversity is limited, so the imaging performance declines rapidly. And forward looking imaging also has the Doppler ambiguity problem. In this paper, an adaptive beam forming method with spatial confinement under ideal line track is proposed. The imaging quality of the positive forward region is improved effectively by combining the array of real aperture and synthetic aperture, and the Doppler solution is blurred by using the array space domain. First, the echo data is processed by High Squint SAR imaging to obtain the blurred image. Then the beam-forming is performed, weighted and coherent accumulated with each channel image, so as to resolve Doppler ambiguity and enhance the azimuth resolution. Simulation confirms the validity of the proposed approach.
