Abstract
An azimuth ambiguity suppression method for a spaceborne SAR in spatially non-uniform sampling relates to the technical field of radars. The method includes the following steps: step 1: compensating for a phase difference between the channels according to the locations of transmitting and receiving stations for channel echoes; step 2: calculating an equivalent azimuth sampling location of each channel at the moment of each pulse transmission; step 3: sorting the equivalent azimuth sampling locations of all channels and their corresponding echoes after the phase difference between the channels is compensated in ascending order; and step 4: calculating reconstructed echoes from the sorted equivalent azimuth sampling locations and corresponding echoes after the phase difference between the channels is compensated, by using an adaptive weight-conjugate gradient-Toeplitz matrix (ACT) algorithm. According to the present disclosure, a relative distance between the channels is not required to remain unchanged, which greatly expands the scope of application of azimuth multi-channel SAR echo reconstruction.
