An ultra-wideband synthetic aperture radar method for real-time motion compensation

The invention provides a real-time motion compensation method for an ultra-wide band synthetic aperture radar (UWB SAR), which is characterized in that motion parameters output by a single-point global positioning system (GPS) are used for carrying out real-time motion compensation of the UWB SAR, the flight time is segmented according to Ta, when the current moment is a starting point of an imaging synthetic aperture, an imaging coordinate system is built, and if not, the next steps are carried out: step 1, eliminating the single-point GPS position jumping errors; step 2, calculating the transverse motion errors according to the single-point GPS positioning information; step 3, calculating the heading speed errors; and step 4, calculating the sight line direction motion errors and compensating the motion errors in the airborne UWB SAR sight line direction. In the method of the invention, the information processing is only carried out on the output data of a navigation system, the motion parameter evaluation does not need to be carried out, the storage space and the calculation quantity are saved, and the large-area imaging compensation precision is high. In addition, the cost is low, and the realization is easy.
