- Abstract
In practice, the configuration of spaceborne multistatic synthetic aperture radar (MSAR) is generally three-dimensional (3D) stereo geometry, under which condition most current algorithms of motion parameter estimation are invalid. In this study, a joint space-time-frequency method is presented to estimate motion parameters of ground moving target for MSAR of 3D geometry. First, the array expression for azimuth echo named extended space-time model (ESTM) is derived; then on the basis of ESTM, a spatial time-frequency distribution method based on fractional Fourier transform algorithm is derived; finally the performance of the presented method is analysed, and the advantages comparing with velocity synthetic aperture radar are discussed via some computer simulations. The work provides a feasible method of multi-channel processing for the 3D MSAR.
