Abstract:

Mini-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based bistatic synthetic aperture radar (BiSAR) is widely used due to its flexibility of system topology selection and simplicity. However, the motion compensation (MOCO) of the system is more difficult because the perturbance of mini-UAV platforms is greater and the spatial variance is more complex. In addition, the degrees of freedom of motion error are twice as those of the monostatic SAR. In this article, a novel MOCO algorithm based on a motion sensitivity model is proposed. First, a BiSAR system motion sensitivity model is established to assess the importance of each motion component error. Second, a novel MOCO method is proposed based on the determination of the main motion errors. Third, the proposed algorithm is validated by both simulations and real data sets. The final well-focused image suggests that the variant phase error after compensation with the new algorithm is much smaller than that with the traditional one.
