Abstract
- In the multichannel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems, unavoidable channel errors will significantly degrade the performance of the ambiguity suppression. To address this problem, a channel phase error estimation method is proposed in this letter. First, the multichannel echo model and the weighted backprojection algorithm are introduced. The channel phase errors are then estimated by maximizing the image intensity using the gradient descent method. The simulation results confirm that the proposed method has higher accuracy and robustness than the orthogonal subspace method. The airborne SAR data acquired by a four-channel strip map C-band airborne SAR system demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
