When taking an image using the range-Doppler theory, the imaging plane may have a spatial-variant property, which causes the change of scatter's projection position and results in migration through resolution cells, In this study, we focus on the spatial-variant property of the imaging plane of a three-axis-stabilized space target. The innovative contributions are as follows. 1) The target motion model in orbit is provided based on a two-body model. 2) The instantaneous imaging plane is determined by the method of vector analysis. 3) Three Euler angles are introduced to describe the spatial-variant property of the imaging plane, and the image quality is analyzed. The simulation results confirm the analysis of the spatial-variant property. The research in this study is significant for the selection of the imaging segment, and provides the evidence for the following data processing and compensation algorithm.展开更多

It is converted to a monostatic problem by using the theory that a bistatic radar equals a monostatic radar located on the bisector of bistatic an- gle. Then, interferometric phases extracted from a pair of cross shaped antennas are used to esti- mate the height and associated rotational velocity. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to e- valuate this method.展开更多
