Abstract

This letter presents a bistatic chirp scaling algorithm to processing the azimuth-invariant bistatic synthetic aperture radar data. Two methods are used to derive the different parts of the range-Doppler expression of the point target. Compared with the method relying on the two-order expansion of the bistatic range model, the new algorithm can give the close-form azimuth modulation. Through the introduction of the fractional Fourier transform into the range processing, the resolutions are enhanced further.
