The feasibility of the application with phase coded waveform to missile borne Millimetre Wave (MMW) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system was investigated. Based on theory analysis, the geometry model was simplified, the expression of the equivalent range and the Range-Doppler image formation algorithm were deduced simultaneously. The phase coded waveform is pulse compression signal, and it can depress the peak value power and provide large bandwidth, so the phase coded waveform is usually employed in SAR systems in order to acquire the low probability of intercept. The image results concentrated on the point array target and the area scene. Simulated results demonstrate that the SAR system with phase coded waveform has the ability to get the image of the target, and hence, the results validate the effectiveness of the image processing method.
