The purpose is to conduct a research in the energy variation of echo wave and the imaging effect caused by the aero bistatic SAR pointing errors.Based on the moving geometry configuration of aero bistatic SAR,a model of beam pointing errors is built.Based on this,the azimuth Doppler frequency center estimation caused by these errors and the limitation to the beam pointing synchronization error are studied,and then the imaging result of different errors are analyzed.The computers simulations are provided to prove the validity of the above analysis.
