The beam scanning range of frequency diversity arc array (FDAA) has all-round advantages. When it is equivalent to a linear array, it exhibits the characteristics of "The middle spacing is large, and the spacing between the two sides is gradually reduced", and there is an inverse density weighting phenomenon, which will lead to a high sidelobe of the FDAA beam. In order to further reduce the influence of sidelobe level and inverse density weighting, the amplitude weighting is carried out on the basis of the nonlinear frequency offset of the array element, but the amplitude weighting is realized by the attenuator in each channel, which will lead to the decrease of the antenna gain, which is generally used when the radar receives the signal. For the transmitter of antenna radar, this paper proposes a phase weighting method for nonlinear frequency offset. The effectiveness of this method for sidelobe suppression is proved by simulation.
In the bistatic arc array synthetic aperture radar (AA-BiSAR) with a moving transmitter, the moving transmitter is helpful to improve the flexibility of the imaging system and expand the imaging scene, which has important significance in the field of helicopter assisted landing, emergency rescue and so on. The motion state of the transmitter is closely related to the bistatic arc array SAR echo model and imaging quality. This article establishes the echo signal model under accelerated motion, analyzes the impact of acceleration on echo phase and imaging quality, studies the effect of different accelerations on the approximate expansion phase error of slant range, and provides relevant analysis results through point target simulation experiments. The analysis results have a certain guiding significance for the follow-up moving transmitter bistatic arc array SAR high-precision and accurate imaging and motion error compensation.
