The inversion of ocean currents is a significant challenge and area interest in remote sensing. Spaceborne along-track interferometric synthetic aperture radar (ATI-SAR) has several advantages benefits, including precise observations, extensive swath coverage, high resolution. However, limited number spaceborne (InSAR) systems are operating orbit. Among these, the baseline length generally suboptimal, resulting low accuracy difficulty achieving operational stability. One approaches involves...

To achieve precise detection of target geometric features, Ka/W/sub-terahertz band imaging radar systems with ultra-wide instantaneous bandwidth have been developed. Although dechirp-based receiver architectures allow for low-sampling-rate signal acquisition, they require linearity in chirp signals, often necessitating precompensation nonlinear errors. While most research addresses polynomial-based error correction, periodic errors remain underexplored, despite their potential to obscure...
