Abstract :
Since a motion error is the main phase error source in the aircraft synthetic aperture radar, several reconstruction algorithms with motion error correction have been developed. An efficient motion compensation via the known motion error information is proposed. Specifically, the proposed method is based on the subarea technique with shifting and the subaperture technique via the mean values of the motion errors. Then, using the extended Taylor approximation and the principle of the stationary phase, the motion errors are corrected through compensation at the mixing stage and the Stolt interpolation stage.
