The invention discloses a method for compensating a high-frequency
motion error of an unmanned aerial vehicle-mounted
bistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and the method comprises the steps: constructing a high-frequency
motion error model of an unmanned aerial vehicle-mounted bistatic SAR
system, and determining the amplitude and
initial phase spatial-variant properties and spatial-variant gradient directions of the high-frequency
motion error model; then, using a traditional parameter
estimation method to estimate amplitude and
initial phase information of a high
signal-to-
noise ratio region in a whole scene, projecting the amplitude and
initial phase information to a space-variant
gradient direction, and using a fitting method to obtain amplitude and initial phase information of all positions in the space-variant
gradient direction; and performing sub-scene division on the whole scene, and performing high-frequency motion error compensation on each sub-scene so as to realize high-frequency motion error compensation of the whole scene. According to the method, the projection and fitting
modes are adopted, only the amplitude and initial phase information of the high-frequency motion error of the high-
signal-to-
noise-ratio area need to be estimated, the calculation amount is reduced, the operation efficiency is improved, the sub-scene division mode is adopted, and the compensation efficiency and precision are improved compared with the mode that motion error compensation is directly conducted on the whole scene.
