Abstract: GeosynchronousorbitSAR(GEOSAR)haswideapplicationsinmilitaryandcivilianareasbecauseoftheadvantagesofwiderswathandshorterrevisitingperiod.AimingatthecompleximagingcharacteristicsoflongsyntheticaperturetimeandcurvedtrajectoryinGEOSAR,agroundexperimentmethodwasproposedtoverifytheimagingfeasibility.Thequantitativeanalysiscurvedtrajectorywithlongsyntheticaperturetimewasgiven,andtheexperimentplanwasputforward.Theexperimentresultsshowthatitcanachievelongsyntheticaperturetimebendingtrajectoryimaging.
