The sub-aperture imaging strategy is usually used to solve the problem of azimuth spectrum aliasing under the condition of a low PRF. However, the required up-sampling processing before the coherent synthesis of sub-images will lead to spectrum discontinuity between adjacent sub-images, which leads to an obvious grating lobe phenomenon after the process of sub-image synthesis, resulting in a significant decrease in image quality. For this issue, a high-resolution wide-swath (HRWS) imaging algorithm for a spaceborne SAR with a low PRF is proposed in this paper based on optimal spectrum shift processing. First, each sub-aperture is imaged using the typical range migration algorithm (RMA), and then all sub-images are up-sampled at the same time. Then, based on the criterion of the minimum grating lobe, the optimal spectrum shift is estimated. Finally, the spectrum of all sub-images is shifted and then all the shifted sub-images are synthesized coherently. The simulation data processing results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15153811","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]],"date-time":"2023-07-31T14:00:15Z","timestamp":1690812015000},"page":"3811","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Accuracy Improvement of High-Resolution Wide-Swath Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging with Low Pule Repetition Frequency"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Xiaofeng","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China"},{"name":"Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology, Nanjing 210039, China"}]},{"given":"Yaduan","family":"Ruan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China"}]},{"given":"Xinggan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210023, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1109\/MAES.2022.3216263","article-title":"Synthetic Aperture Radar During the 50 Years of the Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society","volume":"38","author":"Inggs","year":"2023","journal-title":"IEEE Aerosp.
