There are two challenges for efficient processing of both the sliding spotlight and terrain observation by progressive scans (TOPS) data using full-aperture algorithms. First, to overcome the Doppler spectrum aliasing, zero-padding is required for azimuth up sampling, increasing the computation burden; second, the azimuth deramp operation for avoiding synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image folding leads to azimuth time shift along the range dimension, and in turn the appearance of ghost targets and azimuth resolution reduction at the scene edge, especially in the wide-swath case. In this paper, a novel three-step algorithm is proposed for processing the sliding spotlight and TOPS data. In the first step, a modified derotation is derived in detail based on the chirp z-transform (CZT), avoiding zero-padding; then, the chirp scaling algorithm kernel is adopted for precise focusing in the second step; and in the third step, instead of the traditional range-independent deramp, a range-dependent deramp is applied to compensate for the time shift. Moreover, the SAR image geometry distortion caused by range-dependent deramp is corrected by employing a range-dependent CZT. Experimental results based on both simulated data and real data are provided to validate the proposed algorithm.
