Abstract
- LuTan-1 [(LT-1), i.e., TwinSAR-L] mission is an innovative spaceborne bistatic synthetic-aperture radar (BiSAR) mission focusing mainly on differential interferometry, which will be launched in 2020. This article introduces some important aspects of the LT-1 mission for the first time, including the formation configuration, imaging mode, application scenarios, and the efficient baselines between the master satellite and the slave satellite. To realize the high accurate topography and deformation measurements, a wide swath BiSAR focusing algorithm with phase reserving ability should be developed. This article proposes a modified bistatic range-Doppler algorithm based on 2-D principle of stationary phase spectrum, which reduces the phase error introduced by the root term expansion and has an excellent focus performance and a good phase reserving ability. Finally, the spaceborne bistatic simulation experiments using orbital parameters and imaging mode of the LT-1 mission, including point targets and scene targets, are utilized to illustrate the validity and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.
