The invention belongs to the technical field of
bistatic synthetic aperture radar (BiSAR) transmitting and receiving, and discloses a space
synchronizing method of a BiSAR with unknown target position coordinates. The method comprises the steps that initialization
processing is conducted; according to a
transmitter, the unit
direction vector of antenna orientation is determined, the vector of a carrier coordinate
system and the vector of a
geographic coordinate system are converted, the vector of the
transmitter to the center of a target area is determined, the
geographic coordinate system and an earth coordinate
system are converted, the vector of the
transmitter under the earth coordinate
system is determined, and the position vector of the center of the target area is determined; according to a
receiver, the position vector of the
receiver on the earth coordinate system is determined, the pointing vector of the
receiver which points to the center of the target area is determined, the pointing vector under the
geographic coordinate system is determined, the pointing vector under the carrier coordinate system is determined, and thus antenna orientation space synchronization of the receiver and the transmitter is achieved. The space
synchronizing method of the BiSAR with the unknown target position coordinates has the advantages that the space
synchronizing efficiency of the BiSAR can be effectively improved, the accuracy is high, the
airplane mode is flexible, and the method is beneficial to being widely used.
