Abstract
: Combined with Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) technology, airborne forward-looking Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with linear array antennas can obtain the images in front of an aircraft, while having the advantages of FMCW radar such as small size and lightweight. Moreover, it is suitable for installation on platforms such as helicopters and small unmanned aerial vehicles. In practice, motion compensation for forward-looking SAR with linear array antennas is one of the key problems to obtaining the images in front of aircraft. This paper uses linear array antennas to analyses the influence of motion error in aircraft on an echo model based on the geometry of forward looking SAR, with linear array antennas, and proposes a motion compensation scheme. Moreover, the compensation scheme is applied to an improved Frequency Scaling Algorithm (FSA) for FMCW forward looking SAR with linear array antennas. Finally, the compensation scheme is verified using simulations.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Radars was founded in 2012 by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Information Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (formerly the Institute of Electronics) and the China Radar Industry Association (CRIA), which is located in the high-end academic journal and academic exchange platform in the field of radar, and is committed to promoting and leading the scientific and technological development in the field of radar. The journal can publish Chinese papers and English papers, and is now a bimonthly journal.
Journal of Radars focuses on theory, originality and foresight, and its scope of coverage mainly includes: radar theory and system, radar signal and data processing technology, radar imaging technology, radar identification and application technology.
Journal of Radars has been included in domestic core journals and foreign Scopus, Ei and other databases, and was selected as ‘China's high-quality science and technology journals’, and ranked the first in the category of electronic technology and communication technology in the ‘Chinese Core Journals List (2023 Edition)’.
