In this paper, considering the curved path described by the fifth-order motion parameter model, effects of the third- and higher-order motion parameters on imaging are analyzed. The results indicate that the spatial variations distributed in range, azimuth, and height directions, have great impacts on imaging qualities, and they should be eliminated when designing the focusing approach. In order to deal with this problem, the spatial variations are decomposed into three main parts: range, azimuth, and cross-coupling terms. The cross-coupling variations are corrected by polynomial phase filter, whereas the range and azimuth terms are removed via Stolt mapping. Different from the traditional focusing methods, the cross-coupling variations can be removed greatly by the proposed approach. Implementation considerations are also included. Simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10060862","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,4]],"date-time":"2018-06-04T08:59:41Z","timestamp":1528102781000},"page":"862","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Focusing High-Resolution Highly-Squinted Airborne SAR Data with Maneuvers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9213-0085","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shiyang","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Lab. of Radar Signal Processing, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Linrang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Lab. of Radar Signal Processing, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hing Cheung","family":"So","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronic Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Cumming, I.G., and Wong, F.H.
