Abstract Distributed micro-satellites SAR has the capabilities of substantially miniaturizing the size and lowering the cost of space-borne SAR systems. However, one of the key issues is to take full advantage of the distributed resources and achieve high-resolution images. In this paper, an approach utilizing LFMCW signal is proposed to realize distributed micro-satellites SAR system. The signal model and the high-resolution imaging method is studied on the basis of the serial formation in azimuth. LFMCW signals are transmitted simultaneously and beat-frequency division signals are received by different micro-satellites. With the use of the crossed receiving technique, different sub-band signals with superposed equivalent phase centers can be acquired by the configuration design of formation flying, and then the full-bandwidth signal is synthesized to obtain high-resolution image. The proposed method synthesizes the sub-band signals of distributed platforms, which provides theoretical support for applying high-resolution LFMCW signals in the field of distributed micro-satellites SAR. The correctness of the theoretical derivations and the effectiveness of the approach is validated by simulation results.
