Abstrakt: The advancement of spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) into very high-resolution regimes introduces significant challenges in signal processing, particularly concerning precise echo modelling and focusing algorithm design. This article proposes an improved Extended Omega-K Algorithm (EOKA) to address these challenges. The proposed algorithm effectively compensates for the ‘fast-time’ and ‘slow-time’ effects induced by the stop-and-go approximation, incorporates a two-step orbit compensation (OCO) to mitigate errors from orbital curvature, and employs a deramp operation for azimuth preprocessing to resolve spectrum aliasing. A key enhancement is made to the Stolt interpolation to account for the spatial variability of the equivalent velocity in range. The proposed high-resolution imaging algorithm is evaluated through point target simulations, which demonstrate optimal focusing effects and highlight the effectiveness of the improved EOKA in addressing the challenges of high-resolution spaceborne SAR signal processing.
