But in the actual SAR system, the synthesis result will be seriously deteriorated by the inner-channel and inter-channel phase error. A frequency domain synthetic bandwidth method based on transfer function extracting technique is proposed in an actual SAR system which consists of single wideband transmit channel and 8-way down-conversion receive sub-channels. The method can accurately get the amplitude and phase characteristics of the sub-channel and compensate the amplitude-phase errors. The final experimental results demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the method and the range resolution down to 0.1 m is obtained.展开更多

In the proposed radar, two temporal-overlapped linear frequency-modulated(LFM) signals with the same chirp rate and different center frequencies are transmitted. By post-processing the de-chirped echoes in the receiver, a signal equivalent to that de-chirped from an LFM signal with the combined bandwidth is achieved. In a proof-ofconcept experiment, two LFM signals with bandwidths of 8.4 GHz are exploited to achieve radar detection with an equivalent bandwidth of 16 GHz, and a range resolution of 1 cm is obtained.展开更多
