Abstract: To improve the imaging quality of spaceborne SAR, this study focuses on addressing the velocity spatial variation characteristics among different range cells during imaging processing. It investigates high-precision equivalent velocity calculation methods to achieve accurate focusing of targets in each range cell and optimizes the equivalent velocity calculation workflow. Firstly, based on the range equation, Doppler equation, and Earth ellipsoid model equation of spaceborne SAR, geometric positioning of targets at different range gate sampling positions at the imaging center time is performed. The traditional hyperbolic model is adopted to calculate the slant range history of targets positioned by different range gates, and a first-level rough estimation of equivalent velocity is completed according to imaging time and slant range variations. Subsequently, secondary estimation research is conducted on two types of equivalent velocity estimation strategies: one based on image statistical features (maximum contrast method) and the other on echo signal features (fractional Fourier transform method). After completing the accurate estimation of equivalent velocity, the coupling relationship between processing efficiency and estimation accuracy in different calculation methods is optimized, and a full-process framework integrating secondary rough estimation and precise estimation of equivalent velocity is finally constructed and completed. Finally, by comparing the processing results of point target echo simulation data in strip modes generated based on spaceborne imaging parameters, quantitative analysis is carried out focusing on key indicators such as point target resolution, integrated sidelobe ratio, peak sidelobe ratio, and algorithm time consumption, thereby completin
