This paper presents a model to compute the phase error caused by Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) measurement inaccuracies. By analyzing SAR motion compensation method and the effect of lever arm, this model derives the con-tribution of each term of IMU inaccuracies towards the residual uncompensated motion errors and provides a method to calculate each order of the residual phase error. According to the model, com-puted results of the airborne X-band SAR system with POS AV510 accord closely with the actual image quality.展开更多

Thus, the performance of direct-path signal is important to system performance for this type of radar. While the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) of direct-path signal is low, it will deteriorate the detection performance. In this paper, how SNR of direct-path signal induces degradation on the SNR of CAF, and how the integration gain affects by integration time are analyzed, both with theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, which are valuable for the R&D of passive radar.展开更多
