摘要

Applying a continuous varying pulse interval (CVPI) sequence is of significance for an extremely high-resolution (EHR) spaceborne sliding spotlight synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for complete data acquisition. An optimum CVPI sequence should be the one leading to the minimum movement of the echoes of interest in a pulse train. However, such an optimization can be hardly conducted using the traditional timing diagram. Aiming at solving this problem, this article introduces a new graphic tool, referred to as the strip layering diagram, to achieve an optimum CVPI sequence for an EHR spaceborne sliding spotlight SAR. The basic rationale is to explicitly employ a new parameter $\eta $ to directly control the movement of the echoes of interest in a pulse train. The new strip layering diagram consists of two layered subdiagrams: one is the candidate subdiagram, consisting of the candidate strips presenting all the CVPI sequence candidates restricted by the data acquisition geometry; the other is the feasibility subdiagram, consisting of the feasibility strips marking all the feasible regions where the echoes of interest are not submerged by the transmitted pulses or contaminated by the nadir echoes. An optimum CVPI sequence can be accurately and efficiently achieved by sketching a line segment satisfying four conditions inside the strip layering diagram. The detailed comparisons between the new diagram and the traditional timing diagram are also provided, followed by computer simulations to validate the presented approaches.
