Title
Improved Full-Aperture ScanSAR Imaging Algorithm Based on Aperture Interpolation
Abstract
In this letter, an improved full-aperture imaging algorithm for scanning synthetic aperture radar (ScanSAR) mode is proposed, which fills the data gaps between bursts through a linear-prediction-model-based aperture interpolation technique in a subaperture manner before azimuth compression. It can significantly suppress the spikes induced by periodical data gaps and, at the same time, enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of the obtained ScanSAR imagery. This approach has a great potential in the interferometric context. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by both simulated and real ScanSAR data with different types of terrain. All the experimental data were acquired by the C-band SAR system with a bandwidth of 200 MHz, which was developed by the Department of Space Microwave Remote Sensing System, Institute of Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
