The linear range walk correction (LRWC) and the inherent azimuth-variant geometric configuration in the case of one-stationary bistatic synthetic aperture radar (OS-BiSAR) imaging produce 2-D variant range cell migrations (RCMs) and azimuth-dependent Doppler parameters, which makes it more difficult to obtain high-quality image for high-resolution and highly squinted OS-BiSAR. To accommodate these issues, an improved extended nonlinear chirp scaling (ENLCS) algorithm is developed in this letter. An analytic model based on the equi-sum of bistatic ranges (ESBR) after the RCM correction is proposed to reveal the azimuth-variant property of the azimuth distributed targets. Based on this innovative model, analytic coefficients of the ENLCS are derived, and high-quality image formation for OS-BiSAR is accomplished. Simulations are conducted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed algorithm.
