摘　　要：在方位多通道合成孔径雷达(SAR)系统中,进行非均匀采样重建之前,由于通道特性不一致导致的幅度相位差异必须进行校正,以避免图像中出现"鬼影"虚假目标,影响图像判读。方位多通道SAR工作过程中,平台偏航和俯仰导致的通道相位失配具有方位时变和距离空变特点。目前基于平台姿态信息的通道相位失配校正方法均未考虑地形高程起伏带来的影响。该文提出一种新的方位多通道SAR相位失配校正方法,基于辅助数字高程模型(DEM)信息和平台姿态信息,获得更加精确的场景下视角,在地形起伏较大的场景显著提高了通道间相位失配估计精度。针对提出的算法,开展仿真实验,针对虚假目标抑制效果开展定量评估。同时选取场景高程起伏较大场景开展了机载飞行试验数据处理,并对实验结果进行分析,验证算法的有效性。In multichannel Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) data processing, the phase and amplitude characteristics of all channels should be well calibrated before multichannel data reconstruction;otherwise, the imaging result will be degraded and suffer from ghost targets. The yaw and pitch of the SAR platform, which change in azimuth and range, respectively, will cause phase mismatch among different channels. The currently developed attitude-aided phase mismatch calibration method does not consider the topographic relief. On the basis of the external Digital Elevation Model(DEM) and attitude information, a new phase mismatch calibration method is proposed in this study. The proposed method performs better than other methods in mountainous areas. A simulation experiment and the corresponding quantitative assessment are conducted.Then, the newly proposed method is applied to airborne multichannel SAR experimental data for further verification.
