Moving target detection is difficult for synthetic aperture radar (SAR). As SAR is designed for imaging of stationary ground scene, the moving targets would be blurred and displaced in conventional SAR imaging. To increase the signal clutter ratio, the moving targets should be refocused while detecting. Based on relative range equation, one can refocus and detect the moving targets simultaneously by searching the relative velocity. This method has been derived and applied for side looking SAR. In this paper, we extend the relative range equation to squint mode. The procedures of the refocusing method are also illustrated. By introducing a parameter of relative squint angle, the imaging position of the moving target is derived. The refocusing method is validated by simulations. The moving target can be optimally refocused, and the refocused position can be parametrized by the relative motion parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
