Abstract

Dual-channel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system is promising in high-resolution wide-swath (HRWS) imaging. However, gain and phase unbalance in the dual-channel SAR system will severely degrade the performance. To make clear the channel error effect on the image of the reconstruction algorithm, a precise analysis of the channel error effect is proposed in this letter. Based on the channel error effect analysis, the amplitude and position of the ambiguity caused by the channel error can be calculated, which is significant for understanding the image quality degradation caused by channel unbalance. Finally, based on the Chinese first dual-channel spaceborne SAR system - GF-3, the validity of this letter is verified by the simulated and real data, respectively.
