Description
Summary:The multi-platform-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has become one of the most explored research directions in the domain of SAR. This study discusses the imaging algorithms in multi-platform-borne SARs such as airborne SAR, missile-borne SAR, and spaceborne SAR. First, the establishment of the radar echo model is briefly introduced, including two main points: slant range-model and imaging mode. Subsequently, the imaging algorithms of the aforementioned multi-platform-borne SARs developed and used in recent years are summarized. In addition, the inherent characteristics and challenges are described. Finally, the future development trends of the research are discussed.
