近空间被动双站SAR的成像性能分析

近年来,近空间受到了越来越广泛的关注。近空间飞行器兼具卫星和航空飞机的优点,能提供类似卫星的宽覆盖、长续航能力和飞机的快速响应能力,这为研究新体制遥感技术创造了条件。基于此,文章提出了一种基于近空间平台的被动双站合成孔径雷达(SAR)成像方法。首先,通过分析近空间被动双站SAR的空间几何模型,建立了其相应的SAR回波信号模型;然后,根据发射机和接收机对成像目标产生的多普勒效应,对近空间被动双站SAR成像的距离分辨率和方位分辨率进行了分析和仿真,并分析了近空间被动双站SAR存在的方位向调频率空变特性。最后,以接收机静止模式为例,对其成像处理进行了仿真。理论分析和仿真实验结果表明,近空间被动双站SAR是一种具有良好应用前景的遥感新技术。

Imaging performance analysis for near-space passive bistatic SAR remote sensing

The interest in near-space has increased greatly in recent years.As near-space has the combined advantages of airspace and aerospace,the sensors placed in near-space platforms can provide both wide coverage like spaceborne sensors and fast revisit speed like airborne sensors.This opens a door to many new remote sensing applications.As such,this paper proposed a near-space aerocraft-based passive bistatic synthetic aperture radar(SAR) imaging technique.The spatial configuration and its corresponding signal m...
