Abstract

Because of the long integration time of geosynchronous earth orbit synthetic aperture radar (GEO SAR), the imaging model and algorithm of low earth orbit (LEO) SAR are not suitable for GEO SAR. Thus, this paper establishes the echo model of the GEO SAR by using the high order range model based on the characters of the GEO SAR movements. Then, the two-dimensional (2-D) spectrum is derived by the method of series reversion (MSR), based on which a new imaging algorithm used for GEO SAR is presented. Finally, simulation results of point targets prove the accuracy and validity of the proposed algorithm.
