| contents | Regional synthetic aperture radar reconnaissance requires observation windows that satisfy geometric feasibility under side-looking constraints and deliver interpretable image quality. This paper develops an efficient framework for visible window generation and per-window signal-level quality assessment. Window construction proceeds through three stages: coarse angular bandpass screening eliminates orbit arcs without potential target intersection, a planar characteristic curve containment test on the sensor calculation plane determines the precise geometry feasible intervals, and one-dimensional boundary bisection resolves each entry and exit epoch to subsecond precision. Each geometry feasible window then undergoes a companion point target stripmap simulation that measures range and azimuth impulse response width, peak sidelobe ratio, and integrated sidelobe ratio against mission-dependent acceptance thresholds. Numerical experiments validate the three-stage generation pipeline against an independent STK reference and demonstrate that the quality screening procedure differentiates imaging performance across observation windows with measurably different geometry. The framework provides an auditable preprocessing stage that converts continuous time regional visibility into quality-qualified observation windows suitable for subsequent mission planning. |
