High-resolution and wide-swath imaging serves as an important task for synthetic aperture radar (SAR). However, the tradeoff between high azimuth resolution and wide unambiguous swath coverage has not been well optimized in traditional SAR system. Meanwhile, the ultrawideband signal is required to obtain ultrahigh range resolution imaging. It is not easy to increase the bandwidth directly due to the difficulty of system design. To this end, this article makes notable contribution on a sub-band frequency diverse array framework to realize range ambiguous echoes separation and wideband signal synthesis from narrowband signals. By introducing a small frequency increment across the elements within each subarray, the transmit steering vector within each subarray is range-angle-dependent, making it feasible to resolve range ambiguity in the spatial frequency. In addition, the transmitted waveforms of different subarrays occupy different frequency bands in range frequency domain, which play a pivotal role in achieving high-resolution imaging. With phase compensation and sub-band frequency spectrum splicing technique, the wideband signal can be obtained. Simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
