This paper studies the dual stripmap imaging program of the airborne SAR which carries a circular scanning antenna system that has the ability to map both sides of the radar’s flight path.This imaging mode is developed from the circular-scanning mode
which effectively improves the image size and the imaging efficiency.The basic imaging procedure is firstly analyzed
then the implementation as well as the rules of choosing the system parameters to fulfill the image resolution and the seamless mosaicing requirements are presented
while considering the actual motion conditions of the radar platform.The point-target simulation and live data processing results of one real system are given to show the validity of the proposed imaging methodology.
