Multiscale Local Map-Drift-Driven Multilateration SAR Autofocus Using Fast Polar Format Image Synthesis

Abstract: This new autofocus method is based on multilateration by ranging to small target areas at independent directions on the ground. Range-clipped Doppler low-filtered profiles around target points are used to compute local images using frequencydomain polar format algorithm. Images obtained from adjacent subapertures are registered, and the displacements yield elevation, trajectory, or clock drift (bistatic case) errors. To alleviate the insensitivity of map drift to error fluctuation faster than subaperture durat… Show more

“…The whole data frame after RC and RCMC is divided on short data blocks in the azimuth direction. Each data block is split into two halves and two SAR images for the MDA estimation are formed using the dechirp-based processing (11) and (12). From the image shifts (15), the local quadratic phase errors and the corresponding Doppler rate errors (14) are evaluated for each azimuth block for a set of range blocks.…”

“…The multiple-aperture MDA [3,10] estimates the phase error as a higher-order polynomial. Other models, such as a Fourier series, have also been proposed [10][11][12]. The problem is that the parametric autofocus methods are restricted by the models applied.…”

“…It should also be stressed that multilateration techniques based on prominent point phase tracking [4] and local 2-D MD [5] do update the aperture track, providing an ability to correct residual space variant RCM. This has, however, not been demonstrated in practice.…”

“…These update techniques are mainly based on MDA [4], [14], [16] or PGA [5], [6]. In [4], the author divides subapertures in azimuth and estimate the line-of-sight (LOS) displacement of plane by a modified MDA in each subaperture.…”

“…In [16], the residual trajectory errors are expanded into a Fourier-like sum of one linear and a few sinusoidal error terms, and then the reduced set of error parameters is estimated by computing the registration of small rectangular patches. In [14], the multilateration technique is used to update the trajectory parameters. A linear equation set is used to calculate the velocity corrections by the apparent displacement.…”
