Abstract

Fast raw-signal simulation is of considerable value for missile-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) algorithm development. On the basis of the two-dimensional (2-D) Fourier simulation method for stripmap SAR, we present a fast echo simulation method suitable for missile-borne SAR diving with constant acceleration. The analytical expression for the 2-D signal spectrum is derived and then converted to a stripmap one. Simulation results for a point target and a real scene demonstrate its validity and effectiveness.
