Abstract:

The modeling of a moving target for a single channel spaceborne SAR geometry has already been accomplished to a high degree of accuracy by Eldhuset et al., but extending the model to include a SAR system that is equipped with multiple apertures e.g. RADARSAT-2, TerraSAR-X still requires further work. The purpose of this short technical memo is to do exactly that to derive a set of equations of motion of a ground moving target for a multi-channel spaceborne SAR. These equations of motion will be shown to be applicable to both airborne and spaceborne multi-channel SAR systems in stripmap mode.
