The proposed system employs the squint operation mode to remove the background and twin- image interferences, which achieves a similar effect to off-axis holography but leaves out the large-aperture quasi-optical component. The translational scanning manner enables a large field of view and ensures the image uniformity, which is difficult to realize in off-axis holography. In addition, a corresponding imaging algorithm for the presented scheme is developed to reconstruct the image from the recorded hologram. Some imaging results on typical objects, obtained with electromagnetic simulation, demonstrate good performance of the imaging scheme and validate the effectiveness of the image reconstruction algorithm.展开更多

This paper presents a new scheme to transform the side-looking returns to squint ones, in a direct and an indirect approach respectively. Direct transformation uses the data with a wide azimuth beam angle. The maximum of the required squint angle is limited under several degrees. Squint data under indirect transformation can be obtained by adding a platform velocity along slant range according to the required squint angles. Then the squint data is determined by the angle between the new forward velocity and line-of-sight direction. This method results in higher squint angle compared with the first one. Verification shows the feasibility of these approaches with illustration of side-looking E-SAR raw data processing. The future work will be on the precise Doppler centroid estimation and effective imaging algorithm development.展开更多
