It is shown that the beam scan and the polarizations of electric fields can be controlled simultaneously if the forms of module arrangement are chosen properly and the amplitudes and the phases of array excitation are determined by the method presented in this article. Moreover, the calculations of the amplitudes and the phases of array excitation are simplified greatly while using the bounded conditions properly, and the desired beam sweep rate is achieved.展开更多

The scanning angular velocity and the scanning angular scope are determined respectively. The angular velocity of the scanning antenna is controlled to scan over just one azimuth 3 dB beam width in the time interval during which the radar platform moves over one synthetic aperture length determined from the desired cross-range resolution, radar wavelength, nominal slant range, and squint angle. The scanning angular scope is mainly determined by the azimuth width of the terrain patch, nominal slant range, squint angle, platform velocity, and azimuth beam width. Finally, the related experimental results of an airborne SAR are presented. The linear range-Doppler algorithm is employed in image formation after motion compensation is conducted to remove the effect of transnational motion of the radar platform relative to the map center.展开更多
