However, due to the heavy computational burden of data processing, the application of ViSAR is limited in practice. Although back projection (BP) can avoid unnecessary repetitive processing of overlapping parts between consecutive video frames, it is still time-consuming for high-resolution video-SAR data processing. In this article, in order to achieve the same or a similar effect to BP and reduce the computational burden as much as possible, a novel time-frequency sub-aperture technology (TFST) is proposed. Firstly, based on azimuth resampling and full aperture azimuth scaling, a time domain sub-aperture (TDS) processing algorithm is proposed to process ViSAR data with large coherent integration angles to ensure the continuity of ViSAR monitoring. Furthermore, through frequency domain sub-aperture (FDS) processing, multiple high-resolution video frames can be generated efficiently without sub-aperture reconstruction. In addition, TFST is based on the range migration algorithm (RMA), which can take into account the accuracy while ensuring efficiency. The results of simulation and X-band airborne SAR experimental data verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15010264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T03:50:32Z","timestamp":1672631432000},"page":"264","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Generation of Multiple Frames for High Resolution Video SAR Based on Time Frequency Sub-Aperture Technique"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Congrui","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Space Microwave Remote Sensing System, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100039, China"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Space Microwave Remote Sensing System, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"given":"Yunkai","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Space Microwave Remote Sensing System, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100039, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0373-3659","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Space Microwave Remote Sensing System, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"given":"Pei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Space Microwave Remote Sensing System, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]},{"given":"Fengjun","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Space Microwave Remote Sensing System, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Curlander, J.C., and McDonough, R.N.
