Aiming at the effects of target positioning error on MOCO for airborne interferometric SAR, the paper deduces a mathematical model of the residual motion error caused by the target positioning error under the condition of squint. Also, the effects of the system sampling delay, Doppler center frequency, and reference DEM errors on the residual motion error that result in target positioning error based on the model are analyzed. Then, the paper discusses the effects of the reference DEM error on the interferometric SAR image quality, the interferometric phase, and the coherent coefficient. The research provides theoretical basis for the MOCO precision in signal processing of the airborne high precision and airborne repeat-pass interferometric SARs.","PeriodicalId":37701,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Radars","volume":"2 1","pages":"492-498"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70074298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, the self- and cross-calibration techniques and their principles are presented. In addition, this method is extended to the phased-array radar from units.

Traditionally, this task runs on a workstation or a server based on Central Processing Units (CPUs) and is rather time-consuming, making real-time processing of SAR data impossible. Based on Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) technology, a new plan for a SAR imaging algorithm operated on an NVIDIA Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) is proposed. The new proposal makes it possible for the data processing procedure and the CPU/GPU data exchange to execute concurrently, especially when the size of SAR data exceeds the total GPU global memory size. A multi-GPU is suitably supported by the new proposal, and all computational resources are fully exploited. It has been shown by an experiment on an NVIDIA K20C and INTEL E5645 that the proposed solution accelerates SAR data processing by tens of times. Consequently, a GPU based SAR processing system that embeds the proposed solution is much more efficient and portable, thereby making it qualified to be a real-time SAR data processing system. Experiments showed that SAR data can be processed in real-time at a rate of 36 megapixels per second by a K20C when the new solution is implemented.","PeriodicalId":37701,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Radars","volume":"2 1","pages":"481-491"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70074421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
