The block varying pulse repetition frequency (BV-PRF) scheme applied to spaceborne squint sliding-spotlight synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can resolve large-range cell migration (RCM) and reduce azimuth signal non-uniformity. However, in the BV-PRF scheme, different raw data blocks have different PRFs, and the raw data in each block are insufficiently sampled. To resolve the two problems, a novel azimuth full-aperture pre-processing method is proposed to handle the SAR raw data formed by the BV-PRF scheme. The key point of the approach is the resampling of block data with different PRFs and the continuous splicing of azimuth data. The method mainly consists of four parts: de-skewing, resampling, azimuth continuous combination, and Doppler history recovery. After de-skewing, the raw data with different PRFs can be resampled individually to obtain a uniform azimuth sampling interval, and an appropriate azimuth time shift is introduced to ensure the continuous combination of the azimuth signal. Consequently, the resulting raw data are sufficiently and uniformly sampled in azimuth, which could be well handled by classical SAR-focusing algorithms. Simulation results on point targets validate the proposed azimuth pre-processing approach. Furthermore, compared with methods to process SAR data with continuous PRF, the proposed method is more effective. |
