Popis: Bistatic synthetic aperture radar (BiSAR) has drawn increasing attention in recent studies benefiting from its ability for forward-looking imaging, its capability of receiver radio silence and its resistance to jamming. However, the motion trajectory error compensation of BiSAR is a challenging task due to multiple error sources and complex effects. In this paper, an estimation and compensation method for three-dimensional (3D) motion trajectory error of BiSAR is proposed. In this method, the Doppler error of multiple scattering points is estimated firstly by using the time–frequency analysis method. Next, a local autofocus process is introduced to improve the Doppler error estimation accuracy. Then, the 3D trajectory error of BiSAR is estimated by solving a series of linear equations of the trajectory error and the Doppler error with the least squares method, and a well-focused BiSAR image is produced by using the corrected 3D trajectories. Finally, simulation and experiment results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
