The invention belongs to the technical field of SAR imaging, and particularly relates to an improved sub-aperture SAR chirp scaling Omega-K imaging method. The method includes the specific steps of firstly, conducting range-direction Fourier transform on original echo data; secondly, conducting azimuth-direction matched filtering on a signal, multiplying the signal by a rotation correction function, and achieving the forward lateral processing for a wave number spectrum supporting area; thirdly, conducting azimuth-direction Fourier transform on the signal, and conducting azimuth resampling interpolation a two-dimensional wave number field; fourthly, multiplying the signal by a unified phase compensation function, conducting expansion Stolt interpolation, and achieving the range-direction spatial position field focusing through the range inverse Fourier transform; fifthly, multiplying the signal by a deramp correction function, conducting azimuth inverse Fourier transform, multiplying the azimuth spatial position by an azimuth position correction function in the azimuth spatial position field, and finally achieving the azimuth-direction wave number field focusing through the azimuth Fourier transform. The method is wide in application range, capable of achieving the high-resolution imaging, and can be used for the fields of ground mapping, target recognition and the like.
