Review of Novel Azimuthal Multi-angle Observation Spaceborne SAR Technique

Abstract

This paper reviews the novel azimuthal multi-angle spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technique. First, the development status and trend of SAR satellites are analyzed, and their observation capacities are compared considering different aspects. Furthermore, the novel azimuthal multi-angle observation SAR imaging modes are presented based on the application requirements, and the imaging mechanism is analyzed in detail. Moreover, the advantages of the azimuthal multi-angle observation spaceborne SAR system for obtaining full scattering information, geometry information, and motion information of ground targets are analyzed. Detailed conclusions are provided, and experiment results are presented. Finally, the azimuthal multiangle observation spaceborne SAR technique is summarized, and its prospects are highlighted.
