technical field [0001] The invention relates to a laser radar, which is a hyperbolic wave front difference self-scanning direct-view synthetic aperture laser imaging radar. The compound hyperbolic wavefront of the hyperbolic wavefront difference and the quadratic phase wavefront difference along the track, the relative motion of the target is automatically scanned in the cross-track direction to generate a linear phase modulation related to the lateral distance of the target surface, and at the same time, the target surface is generated in the track direction. Orbital distance dependent quadratic phase history. The system structure adopts polarization orthogonal coaxial double beam projection imaging emission and polarization interference self-difference photoelectric detection and reception. The basic physical concept is to implement the lateral distance resolution of the target surface in the cross-track direction, and implement aperture synthesis in the along-track directio...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] During the operation of the above-mentioned direct-looking synthetic aperture imaging lidar and side-looking synthetic aperture imaging lidar, the operating distance of the target will generate a time delay of the echo signal, but when the delay of the echo signal exceeds the emission pulse period, the laser emission signal need to seek and identify its associated echo pulse, this complex technique limits the range of the radar, making it difficult for long-distance detection
