  • Patent number: 10725172
    Abstract: Range-compressed data are determined by range-compressing echo data, and are set as first data to be decomposed by first decomposition. Starting from n=1, iteration is performed as follows. nth data to be decomposed are up-sampled. nth decomposition is performed on the up-sampled data. Dependency on slant ranges between a reference point and sub-apertures before and after synthesis is determined. nth azimuth-synthesized data are acquired by performing, according to the dependency on the slant ranges, nth azimuth synthesis on data acquired by the nth decomposition. The nth azimuth-synthesized data are set as (n+1)th data to be decomposed by (n+1)th decomposition. The n is increased by 1. A next iteration is performed until the n reaches a positive integer N greater than 1. A focused image is acquired by performing azimuth focusing on the Nth azimuth-synthesized data by BP.

  • Publication number: 20190072665
    Abstract: In a method and device for suppressing range ambiguity in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), azimuth transmission-phase modulation is performed respectively, using a preset rule for phase modulation, on pulse signal data transmitted on a channel of Horizontal (H) polarization and pulse signal data transmitted on a channel of Vertical (V) polarization. Full polarimetric echo data corresponding to the transmission-phase modulated pulse signal data transmitted on the channel of H polarization and the transmission-phase modulated pulse signal data transmitted on the channel of V polarization are acquired. Azimuth phase demodulation is performed on the full polarimetric echo data using a preset rule for phase demodulation. Echo data are acquired by filtering out, using a preset azimuth filter, range-ambiguity energy from the phase demodulated full polarimetric echo data.
