High range resolution processing based on multi-band Beidou-2 direct signals

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems have been successful in applications of monitoring stationary terrain. Recently, bistatic SAR systems using GNSS satellites as illu - minates attract intensive attentions in the research field of SAR. Due to the abundant frequency resources of GNSS systems, high resolution synthetic technology in range dimension is of great significance to make full use all of these resources. This paper presents a high resolution synthetic technology in range dimension, which can be used to process general signals obtained by radar systems. In this paper, GNSS signal is considered particularly and that method is modified to deal with GNSS signals. Then an experiment is carried out by Beidou-2 satellites system. The experiment result shows that this method is quite useful to Beidou-2 direct signals and the feasibility and effectiveness of this algorithm is verified.
